Campground Reviews

Love going for the Halloween themed event end-Sept every year. New ownership have really jacked up the prices this year though, I'm not sure that the value proposition lines up anymore. I must not be the only one; these weekends are usually sold out and there were many vacant lots this year. Too bad, it's more fun with more people!

First time and how wonderful. Thank you so much for the campers who decorated their sites. Well Done !!!!! The staff were great and so welcoming and accommodating. The bouncy pillow was a great hit with the Grandkids. Janet Foley

The Halloween weekend was great! There was lots to do but not over scheduled. The kids had a ton of fun. It was our first time but we will be back a few times next year.

Campground was nice and quiet - we really enjoyed our stay. I would recommend adding lighting by the bathroom doors - they were a little difficult to find the right gender in the dark. The hosts were friendly. There is road noise from the nearby roadway, but there isn't anything that can be done about that. We had a nice stay.

2 night stay during Halloween weekend. We had a wonderful time. Our 6 yr old son enjoyed all the activites but most particularly the haunted maze and pumpkin walk. Almost all sites decorated for the occasion too! Being able to charge purchases directly to campsite was very convenient Staff were friendly and helpful. Checkout and dumping were quick and hassle free.

Very friendly staff. For the price we will never go back again. Halloween used to be fun there, now they have cut down on activities and you pay 5.00 for a pumpkin to enter contest and even if you win, the prize is a dollar chocolate bar. What happened to the old KOA where you had fun all day and the prizes made you want to enter the contests and go through all the trouble to decorate.

The campsite was clean and very well setup, however the toddler's play structure is in very bad shape, in my opinion it requires a total re-build since it can allow damage to an infant. Carp covering openings on the mesh is not a way to fix/protect the structure, the roof is broken and sagging, therefore it is water sitting in there and leaking. making the area wet and messy for the kids.

We had a great stay. It would be nice to see the coveted soft play area fixed properly. It’s also too bad the pool isn’t heated all season like at ivy lea. Lots of nice days in sept still. The kids loved the trick or treating and costume parade, Halloween walk and dark maze. Annual trip with all our friends

We went for the Halloween weekend - it has become our new yearly tradition. They have lots of activities planned for the kids and the haunted house/dark maze was so much fun, well done! We plan to do it every year (along with other weekends at Cardinal KOA)!

Not enough things for pre-teen, teen population. Very targeted towards young children/families. Many things (go carts, etc.) were an added charge and not well organized.

Les activités célébrant l'Halloween cette fin de semaine de septembre ont été très appréciées. Bravo aux organisateurs mais aussi à tous les clients qui se sont prêtés au jeu! Les enfants semblaient s'amuser à fou de joie. L'activité fut un beau compromis considérant que la piscine était fermée pour la saison. J'ai manqué la salle d'horreur mais ça semblait très très bien!

Halloween weekend was great. The haunted maze was fun, less scary than other years which made it better for kids. Pumpkin walk was also very good. It would be nice if they left that path open during the rest of the year. Appreciate having 2 pumping stations open at checkout, makes it much faster to leave. Very disappointed they didn't honour my KOA points discount, that was the only hiccup.

My kids really enjoyed the Halloween weekend and in particular the haunted house this year. We will be back next year for sure.

Not a great park. No sewers it’s in the middle of nowhere. Staff didn’t have a lot of answers to our questions. We will not stay there again

Enjoyed my stay very much. Lots of amenities and things to do. I would definitely return.

Nice people, lovely area but when spots are smaller than some other KOAs, why not spread us out a bit more? We stayed in Mid-Sept and we’re placed right next to another when we could have been spread out.

Bien que le terrain est beau avec les arbres, le service à la clientèle a été insatisfaisant. Avait fermé les piscines... aucune compensation. Aucun intérêt. De notre périple de 3 semaines, visitant plus de 5 KOA, c'est le seul qui n'avait que 2 services à offrir et c'est celui qui nous a coûté le plus cher. De plus, le service de 'dumping' des égouts n'était pas offert le jour de not

KOA Cardinal cancelled one of our stays that we had booked and paid for and when we showed up they didn't have a place for us even though there were lots of trailer sites available. Not good customer service.

The service at thé reception was not good the girl working on monday septembre 11 was not very helpful. Also it was the more expensive KOA of all our trip we did (six) And with only 2 services. The only positive remarks on your site was the beauty of the site with the big tree

Campground is fine. Sewers and cable would be a nice addition. Some of the staff looked completely disinterested.

I know that there is new ownership. It would be nice if some of the staff were more friendly with the campers. We appreciate getting to know the staff as we like to camp here often. It’s always nice to see a familiar friendly face.

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!
