Campground Reviews

Jul 06, 2025
We always have a blast and we will be back but some notes would be : inflatable slide should be hosed off at least a bit ( it was pretty gross), firewood was pricey for the small amount of kindling you get and we wish the movie was earlier-kids are exhausted by 9:30pm. Overall we love KOA

Really well maintain campground. Many different activities set for kids. Pool was nice. The site was perfect.

Endroit tranquille pour le dodo. Le personnel a pris la peine de parler français pour m aider à comprendre.

Site was in a quieter area which was nice. Unfortunately that is all that was positive. Owners need to take a look at Sault St Marie.We had come from there and they are a class act- worth the money’s worth. Cardinal had plumbing issues in Ladies Room-man was in our bathroom working! Olivia was pleasant/helpful but didn’t give anywhere near the service level of St Marie. Not worth high price pa

Great stay! Cabins are nice and clean, and well equipped. Ease of check in was appreciated. VR was fun. Occasional smell of sewage. Would have liked more activities for Canada Day! Thank you!!

We will be back and will always recommend you, but a few comments that we've noticed on our last few stays -the pool is much too cold when it's advertised as heated -the water slide was extremely dirty, I know it deterred many people from using it -the activities are awesome but it would be great if they were set up and ready to go before the scheduled start time, not setting up at the start ti

We love Cardinal! The owners go out of their way to make the campground enjoyable for all.

Clean, friendly, quiet and lovely big trees. Great for peace and for kids though we did not bring any.

Great for kids to ride around on bikes and play with no worries, parents are able to relax knowing kids are safe but are free to roam. Bathroom facilities and showers nice and clean. Friendly staff.

We had an amazing time. It’s definitely a family campground. My grandchildren loved it! Lots for them to do.

Well Cardinal KOA has outdone themselves again - they added a VR experience!! State of the art machine for 4 riders and lots of options from candy world to zombie encounters - my kids lost their minds!! So much fun!! We will be back in a few weeks, can't wait!!

nice clean RV park I would recommend friends to stay but pine trees make a mess of awnings

Everything was fine on our overnight stay, the internet connection could be better, weak at best at our site. Otherwise this KOA is fine with good amenities and a nice pool, we are staying again on our return.

Beautiful and well kept campground. Canada Day fireworks were excellent and very impressive. Have stayed here many times and will be back. Like the upgrades at the dump station as well. Thank you!

Site beside us had people up way past curfew, laughing, drinking, swearing, so much so we couldn't enjoy our campfire. The firepits between the 2 sites are way to close. The amenities were not as promised on the website. Wi-Fi- nope, book exchange - nope, clean bathroom stalls - nope Little disappointed to tell the truth and we are frequent users of other KOA.

Great activities for kids.

We had a great time! The kids loved the pool and the big bouncer, and I loved how clean the cabin was.

I think KOA Cardinal and customers would benefit from more items for purchase in the "entrance shop". Such as pool noodles, more snacks, puzzles or small.games.
Jun 27, 2025
Everything was perfect, showers could have had a little more pressure. Wish the pool had stayed open longer at night. It closed fairly early.

Really nice place and very well looked after. Sites are clean and well kept.

We were there two nights. Was very impressed with the theme weekend and all the activities they had planned. Extremely well suited for families with kids. Also, they took care of the facilities. Very enjoyable stay.

Weekend kabin kamping was fun and relaxing as always, and full of family activities for all ages. Super friendly staff and very clean facilities.

Enjoyed our stay. The park is very nice. The dump station out front needs some work

The people are very friendly

We had a great stay. My kids enjoyed the variety of activities. We also enjoyed the deluxe site we rented. We typically camp in more secluded Provincial Parks, so weren't quite sure what to expect, but I would certainly add another stay at KOA Cardinal. Everything was very clean and well cared for, the staff were also helpful and friendly. I recommend this place for sure.

The only thing I would note is that all of our extra expenditures (like firewood, ice cream, etc) were charged in one lump sum at the end without itemization. It would be nice to have the items detailed to have a better understanding of the expenses.

This is our 3rd stay! We always try to get here once a year as all the kids absolutely love it! It’s clean and so safe. This year we had 9 kids ranging from 3-10 and reach one of them had a ball! We will always recommend cardinal!

It was a repeat visit and just for overnight. We arrived at 7:45 and the office was closed with our material taped to window... posted hours are until 8:00. Many spots available and with a long rig they put us in a site directly between 2 other campers so it was very tight turning into our assigned site. Other than that it is a great place to stay.

We had an absolute blast! There are so many different activities for both my 4 year old and 14 year old child! We will definitely be recommending and returning.

Only one night with my grand kids. They had a blast and can’t wait to go back

Good visit as usual.

Love all the activities that are planned.
Jun 16, 2025
So much for kids of all ages to do. Organized activities by campground very well done. Had a great time!!!!

Good stay with our grandchildren. Staff was very pleasant and helpful. Clean and nice park. The only suggestion I have is that there needs to be some shade in the pool area. It’s only June and the sun is brutal. Umbrellas would be a great investment, I had to find a shady spot outside the pool while my spouse watched our grandchildren because I could not tolerate the heat, even with a hat.

Short notice was accommodated very nicely. Very clean. Will book in on the return trip. Well worth the extra drive.!

Very clean, spacious and location is perfect for sightseeing in the areas. The staff is very friendly. This was our second time at this campground and we will definitely come back. Our goal is to try staying there at least one week a year.

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!
