Welcome to the Old Town Campground, where we take our yards very seriously. In fact, we take them so seriously that we have a prestigious award called the "Yard of the Month." This award recognizes those campers who go above and beyond to keep their yards neat and beautiful. So, grab your lawnmower and gardening gloves, because we're about to embark on a journey to discover the secrets of winning Yard of the Month contest at Old Town Campground.

Having a neat yard is not just about aesthetics; it's also about creating a welcoming and enjoyable environment for everyone at the campground. A well-maintained yard can boost morale, improve the overall appearance of the campground, and even attract wildlife. Plus, let's be honest, who doesn't love showing off their green thumb skills to their fellow campers?


Tips for Winning Yard of the Month Contest:


1. Keep it Tidy: The first step to winning Yard of the Month is to keep your yard tidy. This means picking up any trash, raking leaves, and keeping your lawn mowed. A neat and clean yard is the foundation for a winning entry.

2. Add Some Flair: Once you've got the basics down, it's time to add some flair to your yard. Consider planting some colorful flowers, hanging up festive decorations, or even creating a cozy seating area. The key is to make your yard stand out from the rest.


3. Get Creative: Don't be afraid to think outside the box when it comes to your yard. Consider adding unique features like a DIY fire pit, a whimsical garden gnome collection, or even a mini golf course. The more creative and original your yard is, the better your chances of winning Yard of the Month.


4. Stay on Top of Maintenance: Winning Yard of the Month is not a one-time deal; it's an ongoing commitment. Make sure to regularly water your plants, trim your hedges, and weed your garden. A well-maintained yard shows dedication and pride in your space.


5. Be a Team Player: Remember, the Yard of the Month award is all about fostering a sense of community and camaraderie. Help out your fellow campers with their yard work, offer gardening tips, and maybe even organize a neighborhood clean-up day. The more you contribute to the campground's overall appearance, the more likely you are to win the coveted title.
