Pack some firewood in your RV
Remember, it is against the rules to pick up firewood at a State or National park and most merchants in areas around the parks know this. Save yourself a bundle (no pun intended) by packing some firewood in your motor home or travel trailer and be prepared to save some money. We have seen local merchants selling small bundles of firewood that range in price from $6.00 to $20.00. We’re always happy to pay the small fee to the parks when they sell it but some of the local merchants know that campers will pay anything for their campfires and they charge accordingly. It’s all part of the camping experience…the ambiance. Just a reminder. Pay close attention to burn bans at the parks. If the park is under a burn ban you need to stick to your little gas or charcoal grill.
Some parks do not let you bring in firewood due to the oak borer. So be cautious of restrictions.
