^^ Sounds like you don't have a source that sells wood by the truckload and are bitter about it? Buy it by the truckload for $100, sell it to 50 campers for $5 each = $150 PROFIT per truckload. No conspiracy needed ;)
I agree some (most?) unscrupulous CG operators (including SPs, etc) are OVERCHARGING for firewood. THAT single factor is what sabotages any firewood control efforts.
I would rather buy firewood at a CG than haul it, but like most people I don't like to be ripped off.
It isn't a matter of not caring, being cheap, or anything of the like. Unfortunately, some people direct their anger at the intelligent campers who are crying foul, rather than at those who are GOUGING campers out of greed.
The greedy are those who deserve your ire. Those who exploit any tragedy for excessive profits deserve our contempt.
Stop the gougers and you'd be surprised how quickly the complaints go away ;)
And a great local example comes to mind, Spruce Lake Camp Ground in Canadensis, PA has a large wood shed and charge $5.00 a wheel barrow load. The wood is dry, seasoned and split. The wheel Barrow sits there to load up wheel to your campsite and return. The money is collected via honor system in a box nailed to the wall of the shed.
Unfortunately some like western-rv-park-owner don't even read the posts they are commenting on, but rather are lashing out in anger. Makes me wonder if this post "hit a nerve" so to speak.
