Answer
Campfire rules at Ocean City area campgrounds are park-specific and can pause under burn bans or high wind. Some resorts allow rings or raised fire bowls only in designated sites.
Ocean City beach bonfires are a separate Town-permit topic—never treat the public beach like a campsite fire ring.
Ask at check-in, keep water handy, and see Town guidance if you meant a beach fire instead of a campground fire.
