Campfires are prohibited on all of Virginia’s barrier islands, except by permit only on Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. Campfires are permitted at other locations on Virginia’s seaside including Mockhorn Island Wildlife Management Area and state owned sandbars and marsh islands. When making campfires in designated areas, please practice Leave No Trace principles in order to minimize the impact of your campfire.
