Another tip:  when needing campfire wood, seek out a small construction project nearby.  They always have a pile of nice cutoffs.  In general, they are glad to have somebody take it away.  Be polite and humble and show respect....and you will drive away with a Vanload of wood....for free.

  I also do this trick when seeking out some sheet metal....steel or aluminum...just ask the worker in the back behind the shop....almost 100%, they will give you whatever you want...for free.

  Seek out some local shop that does Vacuum Forming.  Their trash cans will be full of discards.  A polite inquiry to one of the workers....and you will have abundance.
