The big water slide was only opened for one ride per person . They no longer do the wagon ride or water gun fight which was disappointing. . Some campsites had fires although there was a fire ban

lovely treed site. lots for kids to do, yet still quiet enough for seniors. Staff pleasant. Close to many locations for visiting. I have already spread the word amongst my camper friends that it is a destination. The buddy sites idea is a great one.

Great time and experience. The only thing we didn’t like is the previous people using the sight were slobs with cigarette butts everywhere !!!!

We found it difficult setting up our camper, cars in the way making it impossible to back in our site adding children running wild with no parents insight made it dangerous to back up our camper. Children running all over our campsite (with no parents around) the campground look more like the lord of the flies then anything else. But the campground itself was beautiful. Will try it again.

We had a great time at the Cardinal KOA. I would totally recommend to any one with small kids (8 and under). There was so much for the kids to do. The staff was fabulous with the kids Park was safe and clean. The other campers were so friendly. We really enjoyed our days there. My granddaughter asked “please nanny can we stay one more night”

This was an incredible getaway for me and my kids. The cabin was incredible and it was so nice to be able to let the kids do all the activities offered. We swam, played mini putt and we got to sit and relax while they rode the amazing bikes together. My gem obsessed son loved the panning station, and my teenage daughter loved the alone time in the air conditioned cabin. We will definitely be back.

My kids loved the activities, the pool and splash pad, and the go-karts. The breakfast on the holiday was disappointing, as my parents said the sausage was not properly cooked and that the food in general wasn't great. Aside from that they had a wonderful stay.

Good place to camp

I think this is our fifth year staying at KOA Cardinal. Every year it gets better. We stay in a cabin and it's a little home away from home. With little ones it's perfect. Cardinal is very clean and welcoming. There are tons of activities on weekends to keep the kids occupied and lots of new friends to meet. The staff that run it are wonderful. Friendly, helpful and awesome with kids. Great job!

The only thing I would check into better internet maybe Starlink, we had absolutely zero coverage at our site. Everything else was great sure nice to watch kids enjoying themselves on those tricycles and not a cellphone in sight. Thanks for a great stay

Great people But children need to wear helmets while on motorized scootets

Would have had a better stay at à truck stop or rest area. Trailers are so close together that you can have a quiet conversation with your neighbor while both having lunch in our own camper. The noise level was very high and constant. The site was not even cleaned. There were crayons and tinsel and a lot of cigarette butts all over our site. We had to clean it. Would we go back? Not even for fre

Beautiful campground, well-maintained play structures and waterpark was very nice for the young boys. Only complaint was they were washing the washrooms during the busiest time in the morning seven till 8 AM. Even though they had a sign on the door stating the bathroom cleaning 11 AM till 1 PM This caused for some frustration among many campers Update your signs do not clean in the morning

There wasn’t too many activities to do and things were a little run down. The store had almost nothing in it. You had run out of ice which is ridiculous. The owner/manager should have gone to another store at purchased ice for your campers. Also the price of the firewood for the bag we got was crazy. A few pieces of wood for 15$ is nuts. We were a little disappointed with our trip this year.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for sharing your feedback.Our Ice shortage was due to supplier issues,and local stores were also running low. We'll work on better backups plans. Our firewood is pre-bagged,kiln-dried and deliverd to site which affects cost. We're working to refresh our activities and store items.

Very nice cabins rent them every year and will keep on coming back. I with that they would bring back the bill to site as much easier then carrying around money or having to use card transaction every time.

Rule about 1 car limit per camping site was not enforced during our stay. Camping was overcrowded and unsafe for children as visibility limited.

Very clean and family oriented.

Température de la piscine parfaite. Très beau module de jeux pour enfant. Beau terrain de camping. Seul point négatif est que l'horaire disait qu'il avait un brunch de 9h à 11h mais la roulotte prévue pour le brunch était fermée.

Our mini fridge wasn’t working day 1 and we didn’t realize until it was too late. It was fixed the next day but unfortunately our milk/yogurt and meat spoiled.

We really enjoyed our stay, and have been going for many years. However there are a few things that could use come upkeep. Ther atmosphere has also died down. We bought 50/50 tickets. In the past the jackpot was several hundred dollars, it was only $175 this time, and pretty sure our groups contributed most of it. Was not promoted at all. For Christmas in July, there was very little mention.

Took my 3 grandchildren for a fun weekend. We all had a wonderful and safe experience. Very kid oriented, with friendly staff and clean grounds.

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!
