Campground Reviews

A great campground. We really enjoyed our stay and looking forward to going back. Kids had a great time.

Stay was alright, grounds need upkeep, slide/foam inflatables need scrubbing, dog park broken gates/obstacles. Weekday camping minimal activities, no hay rides, yet premium prices. Cold for a heated pool. Would be great to entice weekday campers with options, like free or longer bike rentals, mini golf etc, just a thought; more activities, especially for older kids, rockets like 1000isle/ivy Lea!

We have stayed here several times. Always clean and good. Highly recommend.

We stayed for 5 nights, 3 in a small deluxe cabin that sleeps up to 4 w/air conditioning, a half bath & small fridge & the final 2 nights we moved to a larger cabin with f/ bath & f/fridge & a pull out couch. It was very clean & near the play structure, jumping pillows & swimming pool. The grounds & facilities were well kept as well! Staff were helpful & friendly! Overall a great experience!

Our stay at Cardinal KOA was fantastic! We camped with three grandchildren, aged 11, 10 & 8. They loved every minute of it, taking part in daily activities, swimming and biking. We all agree we will return next summer!

Staff have become very unprofessional. One employee drives around the campground hanging off the side of whatever he is driving. Children run around unsupervised and there is never any staff around making sure things are well kept.

I booked a full cabin months ahead along with daughter who booked at the same time, wanting cabins beside each other. Called day before to confirm, got there and they gave the cabin I picked away! Not impressed at all!! Pool was FREEZING!! Could not enjoy it! Needless to say, we won’t be back… last year was great, this year, not so much!

We enjoyed our stay and the camping site itself is great. Lots of things for the kids to do

We stayed for 6 nights! The cabins are very clean & have air conditioning. The largest cabins have quite a well equipped kitchen & full bathroom. There’s also lots of activities! the pool is very clean & also offers a splash pad! The kids loved their stay!

Kids enjoyed the pool and activities. The washrooms were clean and overall a tidy campground. Some of the amenities are dated. The pizza isn’t as good as it used to be! Staff was pleasant. I feel like the price is a bit steep even though I appreciate that it is a safe and well run camp, a little less pricey would find me staying longer!

The campground was immaculate and all the play areas very well maintained. Pool was very clean as were the bouncy pads and the play structures. No water slide as too much rain water had pooled in the bottom of the slide which meant it couldn’t be raised but not a big deal.

Lots for families to do. Excellent staff.

This is my 5th season coming with a group of moms and kids. We always have a blast. I love the safe resort like experience you continue to provide. Only thing missing is wheelchair accessible bathrooms and showers.

We've stayed at several KOA's and this is the best one we've seen for kids. The staff were friendly and helpful, the campground well maintained, water and electric worked perfectly and the amenities/activities for families with young children were extensive. There were activities planned for kids both days and there was a pizza and food truck on site for those not wanting to cook.

We were greeted by a young man, I can’t remember his name but he was exceptionally helpful and very pleasant. Our site was ok, sewers would be a plus. I found the washrooms outdated but clean. Although I didn’t use the pool, it looked lovely and lots of activities for the children.

Family oriented with tons of stuff to do Very quiet. Helpful staff

Great, but too windy for slide so shoulda had a replacement thing to do? Or even mini put free?

I posted my review on the Cardinal KOA site. I’m not impressed with the new ownership and staff and will not return to this park.
Aug 20, 2023
We will definitely be back again! Great atmosphere. Family friendly. The park was a perfect size for kids. All amenities were a short walk from all sites. The property was clean and well kept.

Water pressure very low. I asked for my kids not to able to charge to the campsite, but they did anyways.

We took my disabled son camping at your KOA for a few days again this year. He wasn't in the best of shape so he didn't get to do all the things he usually does. I believe that he enjoyed his stay, non the less. His Mom and I did.

Everything was wonderful except the pee/sewage smell in the cabins bathroom.

Great time. Some of the items in the Kabin were In disrepair but they were only small things. (Light above bed) The facilities were clean and pool was great temperature. Staff were friendly.

We stayed for a weekend, the park was sort of empty and very quiet. It rained a lot on Saturday, but we ended up having a nice fire Saturday night.

Great stay as usual but bring back the hay ride. It was always so much fun for all.

Beau chalet, très propre. Belle salle de bain. Activités pour les enfants. Super beau séjour

Great family campground but for 2 adults it’s too costly for no sewer and short sites.

This was our second visit to the Cardinal KOA and we will definitely be back! Our only negative reviews are that the pool is quite cold, a pool cover and more consistent wood on the heater would make a big difference. The 5 and under play area is also falling apart, so a bit of TLC would be great as well!

Campground is a lovely setting and great spot for kids. However wifi is not working, nor TV. No escorts to the site at this campground.

If the weather would have been nicer, it would have been awesome. Overall, it was excellent.

I stayed August 14th 2023. I was not at all happy because as a senior after requesting a seniors discount, it was ignored and charged full price. Rather than a discount charged to my VISA full price was charged. Suppose I wish to cancel. What happens there? I was not impressed with your WiFi service, forcing me to sit in the hot sun at the store and failure at RV. Online booking, ask if senior

Significantly changed since the new owners took over and not for the better. We paid for two day and with check-in at 4 pm doesn't give us much of a day. No activities on Sunday for the kids. After 12 years of wonderful memories at this KOA, this trip was a big disappointment. We will not be returning and this makes us so sad.

Our kiddo had an AMAZING time. So much to do! And made new friends to hang out with too. The Kamp K-9 was great for our dog. The entire campground was clean and the bugs weren’t bad at all so we were able to enjoy campfires. We have already booked another stay! Thanks KOA!

Campground was nice, staff were nice, but there were some of the most rude guests I have seen camping there. Walking through our campsite, riding buddies through other people's campsites while they were sitting out.

Awesome! Staff so friendly and helpful. Cabin was spotless. Amenities were excellent! Our cabin was so clean. Everything was perfect!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, with all the activities available to do and the friendly atmosphere. The fireside pizza shop was excellent as well as the chip truck. We would definitely go back and stay there again.

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!
