Meet Your Hosts


For Victor and Kathleen Arsenault and their family, there was hardly a time when KOA campgrounds weren't a part of their lives. Victor was hired to build and manage a KOA campground 36 years ago and, although he took a brief job (28 years) as a director with the Boy Scouts of America, he always knew he wanted to return. Kathleen, at the time a high-school teacher, supported the decision to purchase the Canandaigua KOA. She thought that raising her family, while working a fun job, was too good to pass up. "We take pride in living on the campground," says Victor, "we want to be part of the action."

Victor and Kathleen encourage anyone, with every kind of camping ability, to come and visit. One special feature of the campground is that the cabins, kottages, tent sites, and RV sites are next to each other or nearby so people with different camping needs can camp together.

Victor and Kathleen rely on their mission statement to encourage great service: "To provide quality services in a safe, secure and clean outdoor environment that will result in a fun-filled camping experience for the entire camping family." They said their bottom line is to have fun and provide excellent service. "All employees are trained to understand the importance of teamwork, fun, and fellowship that will quickly deliver quality service," says Victor.

The campground caters to many different kinds of people, and the people returning each year is proof enough that they will continue to have more. "We enjoy providing a quality campground to many people who are enjoying touring this great country," Victor said.

At Sonnenberg Gardens you may stroll on your own, take a guided tour or come to enjoy one of the many events hosted throughout the year. There is also a wine tasting room.

Ganondagan - State Historical Native American Site

Ganondagan State Historic Site is the location of a major seventeenth-century Seneca town and its palisaded granary. The town and its associated burial grounds on Boughton Hill were designated a National Historic Landmark in 1964. Fort Hill, the site of the granary, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966 because it was part of the French campaign of destruction in 1687. The Marquis de Denonville, Governor General of New France, led an army from Canada against the Seneca in July, 1687. It was an effort to annihilate the Seneca and eliminate them as competitors in the international fur trade.

Granger Homestead

Granger Homestead is located at 295 North Main Street in Canandaigua. It was completed in 1816 by Gideon Granger, Postmaster General under Presidents Jefferson and Madison. As one of western New York’s finest examples of Federal architecture, this restored home is noted for unusually detailed hand-carved woodwork and many of its original furnishings. The Carriage Museum features fifty horse-drawn private and commercial vehicles.
