Campground Reviews

Pro's - Clean. Friendly staff. Quiet at night. Con's - Rented go-cart style bicycles on the road all day/evening and they are kept behind the office beside the road. I had to get out of my car to move a returned unit off the road. No outdoor shower at the pool. I turned off a shower in the public restroom that was left on and unattended. Maintenance area needs a fence to hide the untidy look.

The park is very well maintained and has an abundance of activities for children. We are a retired couple passing through for only one night. They boast “wireless internet available at this KOA”. We did not have good internet at all. They suggested it was due to “all the tress”. Those pine tress have been there for a long time. Don’t advertise something you don’t or can’t provide.

It was a fantastic experience. I loved the peaceful atmosphere and the friendly staff. It was a perfect place to spend quality time with my family, and we really enjoyed the good number of activities available.

Was very good, lots for kids to do. My only complaint was the flies were extreme. There were so many flies it was hard to eat outside. I understand that it is not your fault but I'm wondering if there is a way to control this.

We stayed in the high end cabins. There is no Wi-Fi that gets to the location of the cabins so I had to constantly walk to the front to get and receive messages and remotely feed and check on my cats through a Wi-Fi device. Given we paid more for the cabin I did not expect it to be so difficult to get access to Wi-Fi. All they would need to do is get a Wi-Fi extender to the cabins

The pool really needs a railing at the stairs: was very dangerous for the older people getting in and out to keep their balance. Was overall well kept and facilities were kept as clean as possible. In previous years there were activities every day, this time they were only on Saturday. Have been to very similar campgrounds this year for 70$ vs 100$ here, at this price I likely won't be back.

Clean bathrooms and love the outdoor sink for doing dishes...all sites have nice big trees to protect from the elements and creates lovely scenery. Love the mini golf and pool and bouncy cushion! We'll be back again!

First time staying at a KOA. The activities and amenities for the kids were wonderful! The site was spacious enough and nice a level! Unfortunately the water pressure was so low we couldn’t use it in our trailer and had we wanted to fill our tanks it would have taken hours. The pool needs attention and the playgrounds for big and little kids are on opposite sides of campground…

We stayed in cabin 09 , it was very clean and well set up for the 3 of us. We enjoyed the swimming pool, and the bouncy bubbles my grandson had a great time and we are planning on coming back , maybe in the fall. Over all you have a great campsite.

We’ve stayed at MANY KOAs and this was by far the worst . Basic facilities and noisy red neck clientele . All the evening while we were there some long term. Campers alllowed their kids to non stop ride around in noisy electric toys , Thw same folks were up late drinking and were noisy in the evenings too. There is no way you should call the location “ Ottawa” its FIFTY mimes away

This is our second year staying in a cabin, we generally enjoyed our stay very nice space comfy beds great outdoor space. A few things was the bathroom lock was broken, clock did not work and bunk blankets did not keep warmth. More kids activities during the week would be nice. The pooled and store close quite early. Staff are very nice and helpful. A very hit and miss stay still a nice space.

It was a great stay. The only issue we had that we'd suggest you correct is this..... you have a sign that says Washrooms are closed for cleaning between 11:00-1:00. Both mornings we were there the men's was closed at 9:00 am. That's usually when people start to get up and need to use them. However, the woman's washroom was well kept. Clean and always had soap and paper. It's a great park!

Our first time staying on the recommendation of friends. We had a great time. Kids were thoroughly engaged in park activities - so much for them to do! We stayed in a cabin which we enjoyed with the tiny exception that our shower head did not spray water evenly and the water pressure was very low. We had a small wasp nest just under our front step but we managed around it. Otherwise, a great stay!

We enjoyed our time there. Staff are friendly and the campground is well maintained. Washrooms are super clean, always! Our only complaint: lack of consistent hot or warm water.

Really nice camping ! Really enjoy it !

There was a fire ban, and we were not offered any discount despite fires being our #1 reason to go camping in the first place. The bugs were out of control, even found a huge spider on my mattress on our first night(cabin). Overall not the experience we were hoping for. Would have appreciated even a 10% discount for the inconvenience of not being able to enjoy fires.

This was our first stay at a KOA and we were very happy! We specifically chose Cardinal KOA because of the location and because we were bringing our grandchildren. We had a very nice site and our grandchildren loved all the amenities. The pool and splash pad were definitely a favourite! The new Virtual Reality Attraction was a big hit! The staff were friendly. We will be back!

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!
