Photo Contest 2023

Join us…in celebrating the memories made camping and RVing in Camp Cardinal’s inaugural photo contest!

We believe compelling photos celebrate moments in time, places we visit, this life we live…the story of our experiences together! 

And we want YOUR HELP in telling the story of Camp Cardinal (and will reward you for it)!

We’re doing that through our first ever Photo Contest – which includes cash prizes up to $1,000!

Here’s how it works!

TYPES OF PHOTOS TO SUBMIT

We want to showcase the life of a camper and RVer.

Think photos of your trip to Camp Cardinal (we know the drive in can be as full of excitement as an afternoon at the waterpark).
