Should have some wood included with your stay thank you

We had an incredible stay. One small suggestion is to be a bit careful with the amount of cleaning product or at least air out the cabin before the next renter. The smell of chemical cleaning product was extremely strong in our cabin and took the afternoon to air it out a bit. We also had a lot of black ants. I know it's the time of year, but it was annoying.

Our stay was very nice, the cabin we had was wonderful. It had everything we needed. The staff was awesome & very accommodating. The only concerns I had was the internet was not good, I was unable to connect to it & I was surprised that the TV was only a DVD player. Other than that our stay was relaxing.

This is one of the best campgrounds that we've visited. The sites are large and shaded under mature pine trees. The playgrounds have a variety of play structures and games (e.g. jumping pads, mini-putt, gaga pit, go-cart). There are many activities for family everyday and every evening (e.g. fireworks, VR game). The outdoor pool is clean and heated so it can be enjoyed at any time of the season.

This property wasn’t a good fit for us but I would absolutely recommend it to families with young children. Not a good fit for a childless couple who wanted a more outdoorsy experience. The cabins were very close together and facing one another. Too crowded for us.

Great amenities and activities for families with kids of all ages. Affordable accommodation and close to Ottawa. We will be back!

We faithfully camp year after year regardless of the owners. We camp because it’s close by and there are so many fun activities for the kids. Feedback; Mow the lawn for the weekend guests. The mosquitos were horrible around the play structure and sites. I’d improve the ice cream line up. 37 minutes in line was awful.

Great campground but wish I could have selected my own lot. Being allowed to select a range of lots is definitely not my preference. Through all my years of camping, this is the first time I experience this. The lot that was assigned to me was not bad, but if I had had a choice, I would have picked another one. The rest was great.

We love Cardinal KOA but were very disappointed with our stay this time and left a night early as our entire campsite was flooded, the ground was muck and we couldn't have a fire or even put out chairs because the ground was so wet and muddy and basically had a lake behind our camper. Almost the entire A road was flooded, there is a definite drainage issue.

My kids did not want to leave. A first class family experience. Cheers

We spent a wonderful long weekend camping with our grandchildren. There is so much to do at this campground and the kids were always busy. The staff was friendly and helpful. The only small complaint is that the grass was not cut and being in a high tick area was a concern.

We liked our stay but found activities were not organized well, chaotic and not very exciting compared to others we've stayed at. Grass wasn't cut anywhere looked very dumpy. We liked the VR option, pool and splash pad was nice.

The cottage was great. Very clean and everything in order. Staff friendly, waving etc. The water temperature in the public showers was inconsistent. First day good, second day the water stayed ice cold, the 3rd day good and the next day ice cold.

It was early in the season so the campground hadn't dried out from winter. Unfortunately our site was in a damp area so we had some mud issues. I should have asked for a dryer site when we arrived. The staff were very helpful when asked.

We had an amazing Thanksgiving weekend at KOA Cardinal. We have stayed here a few times now and this was by far the best experience. The kids had a blast! The activities were great for all ages! Can't wait to go back in 2026!

We came back because the first time was so much fun. It is such a great campsite, friendly, family friendly and so much to do. The Halloween weekend was a blast and we appreciate all the efforts each member put into making it such a great time! Will most certainly be back next camping season!! Our Favorite KOA to date.

We had such an amazing time. Our 7 year old son couldn’t get enough of the playground and found so many new friends to play with. Thanks for the great week

We had a great time. We did miss not having the parade of costumes but got to see all the costumes as they came around to trick or treat.

We enjoyed the campground but the bags of wood are ridiculously small for the price charged. Also the X-Large pizza was a medium in an X-Large box.

Excellent campground. The owners are excellent. They are very responsive to requests. Thank you

Halloween weekend was not as fun without the costume contest. Everyone enjoys seeing people's costumes and the friendly competition. Please bring it back!

This was our final stop before crossing into the US, after a long drive from Sturgeon Falls we were given a warm welcome and guided to our site. The facilities were functional and clean. The amenities were spot on. 10/10 would stay here again!
