    This is the DEC link:

    Properly Kiln dried firewood is exempt.

    So, not sure if it qualifies, or if the campground will be knowledgeable enough, but many places (Home Depot) carry bundles of Kiln dried firewood for about $5.00 a bundle.

    That would make a cord of wood cost $1,024. I haven't sold firewood since I was in high school, but it might be time to start again. Ask them where their firewood came from just to see if they can tell you. And tell them you want a solid cubic foot of wood, not one that's mostly air.
