For the area we frequent, we were told we could bring in firewood but we had to burn it all. We only bring in the first night's worth to help dry out whatever we can collect on site, but we also buy local firewood from gas stations and other retailers.

I'm in harmony with this method. Just enough brought in, where it is legal and proper to do so. Then harvest dead standing wood from fallen trees. I never use ground materials as the decomposition can be a resource for many ecological reasons, not to mention that it is usually more damp and tougher to burn.

Of greater importance is not transporting wood from farther areas into another state. The previously mentioned buggers can destroy entire mountains of forestation. Then those areas are subject to wild fires and mudslides more readily. Something to think about just for us to enjoy the ambiance of a campfire. Perhaps some preformed fire logs bought in various stores would be more appropriate for areas in question.
