One of my favourite campgrounds.

Great stay - clean bathrooms, lots of activities. (one small thing - perhaps get the popcorn distributed while the sun is going down so that the movie can start asap once it's dark enough. It ended quite late). great spot.

Clean cabin and grounds, friendly and helpful staff. Close to Upper Canada Village. A great time!

A great stay as always. My kids and I love staying at Cardinal. A few minor blips this year but nothing that really made the stay uncomfortable. I think that as the new owners get more experience with running things those blips won't exist. Thank you for another great experience at KOA!

This was my first solo camping experience in my new camper, and I couldn’t have asked for a better time. The staff were very friendly and the grounds were impeccable! I can imagine my future grandkids coming here and having a ball. Thanks so much and I’ll be back soon.

Another perfect stay!

This was our first time visiting and we had a great time. Our cabin was clean with all the amenities we needed. The pool, playgrounds and golf were a hit for my 11 and 9 year olds. Staff at the store/check in were nice and helpful. The chip wagon was a hit and so was the ice cream. I was very impressed with the running of this place, all the things to do and condition of the site.

Nice park. Good sized lots. Nice trees. Great stuff for children!

A bit run down ... but suited our purposes. We were in Site B01patio deluxe pull thru site in our 42ft. fifth wheel and had to park the truck sideways in front of the fifth wheel to get everything in. We were there over the "Canada Day" weekend - VERY crowded.

Our site had paper and cigarette butts on the site - just gross. There is a 10km/h speed limit for guest, the staff have the golf carts ripping up the roads and we had to tell them to slow down. Then came the leaving the camp, where we were told, they could not allow us to dump upon leaving due the septic tanks being full. REALLY?? This place has tanked with the new owner who seems to not care.

Excellent experience for what we needed.

I agree with previous reviews about the new owners son. Not approachable and not friendly. We do love coming here but it is in need of repair. We will not go back until then. The playground is falling apart, the pool lining is bubbling up all over and a trip hazard, in the pool. And the area where the "pirate ship" is needs a makeover as well.The base that it is sitting on is a trip hazard for all

Lots of trees and lots of shade. Clean and extremely well maintained grounds.

Beautiful, large, well-treed sites. Very clean campground. Nice family atmosphere. Quiet at night. Clean, large pool. The only thing that could be improved is the chip truck — the fries weren’t good, and it took so long to get the food. But everything else about the camp was absolutely PERFECT! Will be back (and give the chip truck another try - maybe they were just having an off day) :-)

My family has been camping at KOA Cardinal for several year. The campground workers are always friendly and polite.

Beau terrain avec patio mais très dispendieux pour seulement 2 services. Toilettes et douches auraient besoin d'un grand rafraîchissement. Le matin de notre départ, impossible de vidanger les réservoirs d'eau usées car la station débordait énormément...personnel peu souriant.et on semble les déranger

This was I believe our 6th time at Cardinal KOA, close to Ottawa for a quick getaway and our grandchildren love it there. This time our site was not cleaned, broken water balloons all over, Bar B Q not cleaned, during week limited campers and limited hot water for showers, play structures 3 - 5 yrs need replacing and the pool liner ready to let go. Dog park - dogs could crawl under easily.
Jul 05, 2022
The thing I wish was better and faster was the chip stand! The food was cold and we waited and hour and a half for food+ we had no fheese or gravy on our poutine. Not fun!
Jul 05, 2022
The kids had a blast. The structures for the under 5 is starting to show serious wear. Our cabin had a defective fire alarm, they replaced the battery the first day but it still beeped waking us up. We notified them the following morning to have them hand us back the defective alarm that evening because they didn't have a replacement. We had to tell them to get one from somewhere else.

Lovely well-kept facilities. Lots of activities for the kids. Pool gets overcrowded. May need to consider a second one.

A GREAT campground for kids.

Very clean washrooms and very well-maintained lots.

To experience for the services outer camp site are much cheaper with 3 service

Have stayed there before. Very nice quiet campsite

The kids activities and Canada Day fireworks were great! Unfortunate to not have any on-site sewer connection (which is the norm for every other KOA we've been to). This caused a massive queue of campers needing to use the dump station on Sunday when most people were leaving (it certainly didn't help that the holding tank was full requiring an urgent visit from a local septic pump truck!)

Fellow guests were racist towards us and the bathrooms were not that clean. Hosts were also not very friendly. Black campers matter too!
Jul 04, 2022
We enjoyed our stay. Unfortunately some guests didn’t respect quiet hours which was not appreciated. Also the long line at the dumping station on departure day was uncharacteristic.

Used to have break down of the invoice but no longer available. We usually come with many friends sharing the amenities and this is making it hard for us to split the pay.
Jul 04, 2022
We've been to this KOA a few times since 2005 and we always go back. This is a nice campground that is well maintained. Staff is pleasant and there's tons of activities to enjoy. Definitely a must to visit once a year for us.

Everything was great, everyone was friendly, place was clean, well taking care of , great for kids .

Our kids had a great time!! The site was clean and tidy, staff were always helpful. The negatives would just be general upkeep items. The pool liner kept coming out and water would get trapped under the liner, the large inflatable water slide was out of order(due to Covid, yet everything else opened). During checkout the sewage tank was full and had to be pumped out causing 2 hr delays.

Wish they had firewood for sale for after office hours arrivals. The pre connected dump station hose was awesome. First time I’ve come across that. Made emptying tanks super easy!
Jul 01, 2022
super beau camping et beaucoup d'activités pour les enfants ! Bravo !

We chose the park for the pool. We had hoped the pool would be significantly warmer, it was too cold to use. If it was warmer (85) we would be back. .Otherwise the park was nice and staff friendly.

cabins were clean and the grounds well kept. We did have a few area's we felt could have been improved upon. The liner in the pool has become loose and is desperate need of attention. When we arrived we found out our propane tank was empty. The office closed at 5 so we had no recourse until the following morning. We were fortunate we didn't need it to prepare our meal for that evening.

Good luck to the new owners. I hope you keep it the same.

The place is nice, friendly staff, great for kids. However, they have these tricycle things for kids and they allow them to drive them on the roads within the camp. The bikes sit extremely low to the ground and can be hard to see them if you are in a larger vehicle (like a pick up or an RV) it just seemed really dangerous to me and put me on edge. There was a lot of kids there that weekend so maybe it's not always like that
