NJCOA Hands Out Marketing Awards at Fall Meeting

The New Jersey Campground Owners & Outdoor Lodging Association (NJCOA) held its annual meeting and presented awards during its annual Fall Tour and General Membership Meeting, which was held in the Shore Region of the state.

Attendees visited nine campgrounds and were welcomed at lunch by Lori Pepenella, president of the New Jersey Tourism Industry Association and the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce.

NJCOA granted awards to members in a variety of categories — Best Website, Best Event, Most Creative Activity/Event and Best Brochure.

Executive Director Joann DelVescio commented that NJCOA wants to recognize campgrounds that work hard to develop a cohesive and up-to-date marketing campaign, and who think outside of the box to provide fun events and activities for their campers.

“We took nominations during July and August to give campgrounds time to submit them for the September meeting,” explained DelVescio.

She stated that the committee sorted through the entries and chose the winners.

The winners are as follows:

• Best Website – Spacious Skies Country Oaks –Greater Atlantic City Region
• Best Event – Murder Mystery – Sleepy Hollow Family Campground – Greater Atlantic City Region
• Most Creative Event/Activity – Cardboard Boats in Pool – The Great Divide Campground – Skylands Region
• Best Brochure – Kymer’s Camping Resort – Skylands Region
