For factory lids, Craigslist is your best bet IMO. I use the plastic lids from academy on my feeders.
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

I like to use the metal ones that look like a upside down bowl, buy at BPS, Academy ect. They let the barrel breath so no sweating inside and still keeps moisture out. Spring tension with two springs on sides. Never had any trouble with them.

I got my lids from the hardware store, Not "barrel" lids per se, they are the catch pans for water heaters I also got 2 springs and have them screwed to the barrel. Haven't had any moisture issues since putting them on 8 years ago and they are easy to push over , fill and pull back. They have about a 2" over hang which I also like.

I use these from Cabelas. You can't beat them and worth the money. Never use a plastic lid and messing with stock lids are a pain.

I once drank muddy water out of a hoof print and was dang glad to get it.
