I understand the rules for not carrying firewood from location to location. So to avoid most arguments we typically don't have a fire.. although my wife wants one each time we camp. Not sure how it would apply to us though. If I have any it would be from mid MO from my dad's farm and the furthest we would take it would be anywhere from Branson to Wichita and up to Topeka- Kansas City area, we live in Kansas City. Due to space limitations wouldn't want to drag any wood further than that! Looked at Lowe's and they have bundles fairly cheap.. don't see much around here. One campground did sell some that's all we've seen. Maybe I'm worrying too much?

We always ask when checking in where we can locate some firewood. Camp Fires is a must have thing where-ever we camp at...No firewood available then we will most definitely move on...Roy Ken

I do not carry firewood, just because Texas has been hit hard by oak wilt and other blights.Instead, I find a local mill, buy scrap pieces of -untreated- lumber, preferably 4x4s, and have them cut to 15 inch lengths. Since the wood pieces are cured, there are no bugs present that would hitch a ride to new areas. They also burn quite well.

Since all of Michigan's lower peninsula is now in the emerald ash borer quarantine area, movement between our house and state parks is not much of a problem. If I leave the state or go to the upper peninsula I leave the firewood behind and buy locally.It seems that if there is a popular campground around, there is always somebody willing to sell firewood.

Every state or federal campground we have gone to either had firewood for sale or it was available near the park. The only time we had problem was when in Michigan they sold some wood that wasnt dried and didnt burn well but we suffered through it.

We don't do many fires but when we do we use the bundled stuff available at either the campground, grocery stores, or wherever. I still see people bringing in a pickup load of wood from who knows where.
