NotQuiteGrylls

can anyone help? I don't want to have to fork out 60$ to light a fire on some dirt around a tent at one of these local campgrounds. I'm backpacking everything including the tent and doing it with as little as I can for fun...I noticed that Weiser state park was mentioned in a few threads already, but how's all that work out with the permits and any suggestions on which of what looks like several different scattered parts would reap the best all around experience?
