If you google camp stove, you can find all varieties of gas or propane or alcohol stoves starting as low as $10-$15. Look in your local paper - I bet someone has one to sell. Check Craig's list too.
Withim - We all go camping for different reasons - and believe me - every time I've gone camping at this park I've had to listen to quite loud music from other campsites - my low level music isn't going to disturb anyone. The radio is a way to deal with that...if it is quiet I won't use it..but that campground is a huge party on the weekend, generally speaking, especially at this time of the year. I don't go for the camping, I go for the mountain biking.

I appreciate that you are giving me advice from your experience, but there are many ways to camp. I am not comfortable using propane at this time, next year I might experiment further but this year I choose not to go that route. I am paying for an electric site and am going to use it My reason for going camping might be different than yours, but I am sure I enjoy it just as much.
