Campground Reviews

Jul 21, 2025
The Campsites and Grounds are always spotless. Staff are always available and very helpful. Our kids love it there. Pool is perfect, they do a great job of activities and amenities to entertain them.

Our site was patio - tiles were cracked and rundown. The patio itself was not level making it hard to level the trailer stairs for the door to close. There were sand fleas or mosquitoes that bit us all weekend. The neighbors were also having a major get together. There were kids yelling, screaming and running around all day into the evening. The pool was cold and shallow, not meant for adults.

We go to KOA every summer and KOA Cardinal has never disappointed! Our kids look forward to going and never want to leave. The lodges are always clean, have everything we need, and there are many activities (jumping pillows, foam party, miniputt, and the pool is a hit for both kids & adults!). Cannot wait for next year already!!!

We had a wonderful stay! Everything was perfect! The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The only issue was the internet! The wifi is working but there is no internet.

The site had no tree cover making our stay extremely uncomfortable. The price was too high for this accommodation. The wifi was extremely poor. We actually left early

The sites were perfect set of sun and shade. The staff was very helpful and the facilities were exactly what we needed to enjoy our vacation.

First time staying with our family, absolutely perfect for our 4 and 1 year old. Clean sites, great amenities, helpful staff, and just overall a great experience. We’ll be making this an annual trip!

Friendly, clean cabin with nice welcoming touches! If possible could you install a small railing to enter and exit the pool! Thank you very much for your hospitality!

Very family oriented which is great. Very clean. Campers were really nice. Dogs are permitted and dog owners are very responsible of their pets. They pick up after the dog has done its business, Personel at the office are very professional and pleasant. Unfortunately, we had to leave a day earlier. I was having heart issues due to the very warm weather. It is our intention to come back.

Friendly staff. Cabin was clean and all items bbq, ac etc worked. Loved how kid friendly the whole campsite was and all the kid things that were planned. We had enjoyed the mining too. My only feedback was the cover for the couch had a whole in it. We also used the couch cover for the pull out and another whole. For that price point that we pay for a cabin that needs to be fixed.

Great time with the kids lots of things for them to do.

Le seul petit point négatif, c’est qu’il manquait d’activité la semaine dernière.

Beautiful campsite, the kids loved all the activities. Will definitely be coming back again!

We had a wonderful stay. Memories were made and we will return!

Nice campground and people. But for the services, no sewer and WiFi bad, to high of a price for staying

As always we had an amazing stay at Cardinal KOA, our 7th year here! Everything is always so clean and so many activities to keep everyone busy! Was a little disappointed that the food services were very limited, and the store was not very well stocked. The addition of the "fancy" cold drinks in the store was a huge hit with my girls. Thanks Cardinal KOA, see you next summer!

We had a very nice stay at the Cardinal KOA. Clean campground. Washrooms and showers are always super clean. The swimming pool was crystal clear. Staff are very quick and efficient. Campers are quiet, friendly and respectful. Only one complaint - bags of garbage containing things that should be recycled. The KOA provides many bins and makes recycling very easy. Sad it’s going to the landfill.

Lots of positives, like the VR room addition. A couple of things that could change - 1. Bring back charging to site like before - this is a big thing for us and our kids. 2. Pool could have been a lot warmer. 3. Wood is waaaay to expensive. $15 per bundle, come on??

We had a great weekend! We really enjoyed the activities for the kids (foam party, carnival, pool and play structure).

It was terrific and we all want to book again next year. We wish we could book when we check out though

Campsite was clean. Hookups for power and water were easily reached. The lack of a sewer hookup was an inconvenience. The pedal cars seemed to be a big hit with the campers. I thought that the price of firewood was pretty high. Very family oriented campground with lots of things for the kids to do.

The campground was an excellent spot for our young children! We would've liked to see more selection in the store. We were disappointed with the wait time for the fry truck - small fry and poutine took 1 hour. Rather than chopping potatoes on the spot, pre-cut fries or prepped ahead of time would've made this much smoother. Mini golf and bikes should be included in camping fees.

Great. But we missed the big blowup water slide at the Cardinal KOA.
Jul 07, 2025
Always a great time, the staff are pleasant and provide great customer service
Jul 07, 2025
Very well managed, easy booking everything went very smoothly! Very clean!! I would suggest adding a pool for adults though. Current pool too packed with kids to swim and not deep at all.

Lots of activities for kids on the weekend - very clean.

This is our favourite KOA (it's also the closest one). We stay here at least 3-4 times a summer. It's got lots of activities for the kids, Halloween is super fun, heated pool and splashpad and toilets/showers are always clean. Wifi is terrible - but you shouldn't want it for camping anyway!!

Smelt sewage in different areas and power went out

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for your feedback. The power outage was due to a Hydro One issue beyond our control. We Found no ongoing sewage issue and received no other reports, but we take all concerns seriously and continue to monitor. We hope to welcome you Back.

We were happy with our stay and had an enjoyable experience overall. Pros: * The cabin was clean and well-maintained. * The heating and air conditioning worked very well. * The cabin was well-equipped * The recreational facilities and activities organized for children were fantastic and very engaging. * The staff were very friendly, helpful, and provided excellent customer service. Cons: * The cabin was advertised as accommodating 6 people, with a queen bed, a bunk bed, and a pull-out couch. The beds were reasonably comfortable, but the couch was unusable for sleeping due to a severe dip in the middle, making it uncomfortable and likely to cause back pain. In reality, the cabin only had 4 comfortable sleeping spaces, not 6. * The propane BBQ had a very weak flame, which made it difficult to cook our food properly. * There was a sewage-like smell inside the cabin throughout the night. * There was also an unpleasant sewage smell in the campground, apparently due to the RV dumping station being located nearby. * At 3 PM on Sunday, I was told bike rentals had ended for the season. Two hours later, my upset 8-year-old saw other kids renting bikes. The staff explained they had resumed rentals due to high demand and kindly offered us a free ride, which I appreciated. However, the inconsistent information left us both disappointed. I hope this doesn't happen again.

Nice campground. No sewer hook ups but there is a dump station. Place was pretty empty when we came so was a little disappointed they put us in a pull through site that was very hard to turn into and no room for our truck. So many sites would of accomodated us better

If you have kids and they love interacting with other kids come here. Kids all over having fun. Lots of things for them to do. Splash pad and large play structure was the highlight. Although better parental supervision is required. Park was clean and staff pleasant. Some sites were very narrow however our patio site was probably the best for space. Lots of nice large trees. Park is close to Ottawa and the 401. $15 for firewood is reasonable. Only 4 stars as no sewer available (strange for KOA). Better dumping setup and control by staff during check-out is required. Road to exit was completely blocked. Even if you didn't need to dump you were forced to wait. Kids want to return so I guess we are!
