How much firewood do I need and how much will it cost?

Question

I am planning to go camping for two nights in northern San Diego in California. How much wood will I need to get about 10 hours of fire for those two nights? Also, how much will it cost? I have heard that some gas stations sell them cheap and camp parks usually sell them also. Any help will be appreciated.

Answer 1

Small bundles of wood that you can buy at almost any market run $5-6, one bundle will last about 2-3 hours, depending on fire size. I think all the state parks sell bundles of wood for a cost not too different than a market.

Be aware that fire danger is very high right now; you might want to call the ranger for the campground you're going to be staying at to determine fire restrictions currently in effect.
