Had a patio site. Was happy with the cement pad and the furniture. BBQ was beaten up, with the grates literally full of rust holes but worst, propane ran out after 5 minutes.

Overall I really like this KOA, however the cabin had a couple of things that could have been in better repair: the air conditioner had visible black mold in the interior fins so we weren’t able to use it, with only the fan it was very hot for sleeping. The bed is too soft/bouncy so we both are very sore from our 3 nights stay. Minor, but the curtain rod was bent so we couldn’t adjust the curt

This was our 3rd time here. We come for the kids activities, but tried the Chip Wagon too. It was nice to have a change from our usual camp food, but it is far overpriced when the city is only 10 minutes away with better options. Also, the fire wood is twice what we pay elsewhere, and the prices are not clearly displayed so we were surprised when we found out from the 2nd bag! Buyer beware!

Enjoyed our stay for the third year in a row as it is a treat for our grandchildren for end of school. This year five other families joined in from their school. I’m sure everyone enjoyed their stay. Thank you.

Amazing stay at the Cardinal KOA this past weekend. Lots of fun activities to keep the kids busy all day!! Staff was very friendly and helpful Very Clean campground - Bathrooms/Showers/Pool Area all very well kept Will definitely be back next summer for another visit!!

We don’t believe you can have a premium site without a sewer connection. This premium site for $135.00 was a disappointment.

Our stay was great other than pool getting closed because kids pooped and puked in it. Obviously under no control of KOA. Other than that the kids had a good time at the organized events and our cabin was great. We did leave message with office that our deluxe cabin didn't have a dishwasher k this year but did in the past few years. Staff were helpful and quick responding to concerns.

We've been going there once a year for the last little while. This is a great campground.

The Lodges are amazing. Have everything you need!

We always have the best time! The facilities are clean, the activities are so organized, wood delivery is quick and the staff are incredibly friendly. We have zero complaints but I have 2 suggestions. All diapered children asked to wear double diapers in the pool, food truck to ensure the fries/food is cooked versus trying to serve as quickly as possible. Waiting longer for cooked food is okay!

Such a GREAT long weekend with the family. So many things for the kids to do. I can though it rained all day one of the days, they were never bored. This might be an annual trip now ���

As always very accomidating and the staff go the extra mile at Cardinal KOA. Still our families favorite KOA.

This was our first time camping at KOA Cardinal and we had so much fun. There was no shortage of activities for the kids. Washrooms and showers were clean at all times. We will be back!

Sites were very small and tight. Had 4 times where pool was closed due to “pooping” in the pool. Social ice cream was advertised as 4$ per person and we were charged 5$/person. Fun organized activities and Staff were pleasant.

Was sooo great! Kids love it so much! Thinking of seasonal next year!!

We had a wonderful stay. Staff are very friendly and the campground is always very clean. Only item I would improve on is more gravel around the dump station. People clearly don’t know how to nicely dump their tanks and it was a disgusting mess. Couldn’t stand out of the poop and was all over my shoes. If the area was a little higher when these people disrespect the area maybe it would help a

We had a great stay with the kids having plenty to do. However, we noticed that some sites had very poor drainage and our campfire area was flooded out due to the rain. It was muddy and impassable. Better drainage of sites would alleviate this problem in the future. Thank you.

Very nice campground with very friendly staff. Only complaint was long term rental with 3 large dogs that were tied out unsupervised and constantly barked at everything. I guess rules don't apply to long term units

What a great campground. Second year coming and very family friendly, easy layout, clean grounds and beautiful sites. Love the tall trees and again the amenities for children.

Was disappointed that the food stations were not opened and did not know this before arriving as it is not mentioned on the website. As well the site we were in and given the directions we were told were unable to get into our site and had to try multiple times due to how tight the spaces are. Not as enjoyable as all are other KOA stays.

We loved the kids carnival events my son had lots of fun doing the craft and playing the carnival games. The pool was the perfect temperature and the fence removed between the splash pad and pool was a great idea as he could use both without having to exit the pool area. The playstructure, mini putt and bouncy pillows were used often. The onsite chip truck on Friday made a perfect dinner meal

Very nice Cabin. Great activities on site. Good prices inside the store. Excellent Service. Wifi signal was too low/unusable from Lodge 04 cabin but other than that everything was perfect. We will definitely book again in the future. Thanks

The BBQ cooking grates need to be changed as rusted out on that site. Some sites need better grading as water collects. Main dump station was backed up on exit that day with sewage all over ground.

Had to leave early, I know u cannot control the weather. we got a lot of rain on the Saturday night, woke up to our site under 4”-8” of water, completely flooded. We were the only site flooded. The attendants drove by all morning but no one stopped to offer assistance with the water. We were fed up by noon and left. Mentioned reason for leaving to gate person, all we got was a thanks for comin

New ownership has greatly improved the overall facilities. Quick to address any concerns. We'll be back!

We enjoyed our stay and the facilities were always clean. The staff is also very friendly. The pool could be cleaned from tree debris more frequently.

Wonderful first experience. Staff was wonderful. Grounds clean. Cabin more than we expected. Activities super fun. Everything was wonderful.

3 large dogs who were in the lot across from us barked non- stop during our stay. No staff came to intervene.

Enjoyed the visit and the campground was well maintained.

I have been camping there since a small child. the. campsite was always clean and rules were followed by. everyone. this last stay was not so enjoyable. you have campers from the UK who assume it is their personal playground.d they were eating popsicles, hamburgers and drinking and smoking at pool. all rules should apply to all. they were running around unsupervised destroying your propert

We had a great stay. Weather didn't cooperate but the rest was fantastic.

Very disappointed that the splash pad wasn’t opened, probably would have went elsewhere if I had known ahead of time.

One of the nicest kept campgrounds. Kids loved the pool and park. Please have a chat with the company you hire to do your grass cutting. The guy on the zero turn had the chute pointed at my RV and hit it with several rocks. There is a small dent now. Guy needs to be told you can’t be throwing rocks and debris at $100k pieces of equipment all over the park. Install a mulching plate.

All was good except the heated pool wasn't heated. It was cold and only kid, swam for a short time only.

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. The staffs are very friendly and approachable. The campground is well maintained and is only 45 minutes South of Ottawa. Overall, we had a great time and would recommend it to any family.

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!
