Most sites I have camped on are picked clean of firewood.

| Shreborne Lake - R.G. Wright |
Generations of canoeists have wandered in ever-widening circles into the woods to gather the dry firewood which will sustain them while on-site.
Most of the time, I find it much easier just to venture out in my canoe to collect the dead wood which is normally in abundance along the shoreline of any wilderness lake.
A campfire is something we all look forward to, especially when the temperature drops into the single digits. The shear volume of wood required for a couple of days of camping, can be somewhat daunting.
Camping is a lot of work, but in this case, work is fun. When you're collecting your firewood, use the time to investigate the forest. You will be amazed what you can discover when your canoe is beached and you are wandering through the woods with your saw in hand.
Happy adventuring.
