My family spent 4 days in the campground tenting. The sites are really nicely set up, comfortable and clean, as is the entire location and services. The pool is awesome! The staff are amazing and friendly! We all had a great time! Couldn’t ask for better fun! Cheers!

Overall a great stay. But I have noticed some decline in the available activities on the weekends. Also there are some pretty trashy looking seasonal sites now.

We enjoyed our stay as usual. Campground is clean and well kept. The 2 issues we relayed to staff were quickly managed (bees and dog park gate). We will definitely be back!

The site was nice and clean, loved having a platform for the tent. Was very disappointed i couldnt get ice at the store, that should be a standard offer at a Campground. The slide, while fun, was disgusting, it clearly doesnt get cleaned. The scavenger hunt was fun, the Park and bounce pad were a hit as well. Wish the pool was slightly warmer lol.

Store is lacking what we are used off No need for honey wagon at dinner time when people are eating

We only had an overnight stay while most of the other campers seemed to be settled in for a longer holiday at this busy campground with lots to do. We love the big pines and easy access. Sites are spacious and level.

Staff put up water slide and it was absolutely filthy .That night a group of campers were extremely loud, swearing etc. management was contacted 3 times and every time they said they checked and it was fine. This was not the case they did not enforce anything went on till 1am. Other families asked them to be quiet as well nothing was done. It felt like a field party rather then a family camp site.

Stayed in a cabin that actually had a full washroom. Cabin was well stocked with all dishware, pots and a microwave and coffee machine, including a little pack of coffee to start with. We enjoyed our state thoroughly. The amenities were great. Lots of activities for kids. The campsite was very clean. We will definitely be returning

Wonderful and familiar experience

It’s a great place to camp when you have children we brought our grandchildren and they had a great time. Would definitely go back.

Great time, lots to do for kids. Only minor downside would be lack of privacy between cabins and check in time being 4pm is unfortunate as we paid $450 for 2 nights, we lose more than half a day having to check in at 4pm and checkout 11am.

SO much for kids to do. Amenities were very clean. Would definitely recommend to those with kids.

My child had a great time with all of the activities. The staff was friendly. The only downfall was one night there were many children biking throughout the campsite around 11 pm and making a lot of noise which made it difficult for us since we have young children. There was also an activity that my young child wanted to partake it and it wasn’t clear she couldn’t until after a 20 minute line.

Very quick stop for just one night. Amazing how many small, young children were there with parents/ grandparents. Our only concern was dogs left alone and barked and/ or whined.

The Campsites and Grounds are always spotless. Staff are always available and very helpful. Our kids love it there. Pool is perfect, they do a great job of activities and amenities to entertain them.

Our site was patio - tiles were cracked and rundown. The patio itself was not level making it hard to level the trailer stairs for the door to close. There were sand fleas or mosquitoes that bit us all weekend. The neighbors were also having a major get together. There were kids yelling, screaming and running around all day into the evening. The pool was cold and shallow, not meant for adults.

Best place for making memories with the family, see you again next weekend!! :)

We go to KOA every summer and KOA Cardinal has never disappointed! Our kids look forward to going and never want to leave. The lodges are always clean, have everything we need, and there are many activities (jumping pillows, foam party, miniputt, and the pool is a hit for both kids & adults!). Cannot wait for next year already!!!

We had a wonderful stay! Everything was perfect! The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The only issue was the internet! The wifi is working but there is no internet.

The site had no tree cover making our stay extremely uncomfortable. The price was too high for this accommodation. The wifi was extremely poor. We actually left early
Jul 18, 2025
The sites were perfect set of sun and shade. The staff was very helpful and the facilities were exactly what we needed to enjoy our vacation.

Excellent family campground with lots for kids to do! The cabin and the grounds were very clean! The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to others with children. No complaints whatsoever.

First time staying with our family, absolutely perfect for our 4 and 1 year old. Clean sites, great amenities, helpful staff, and just overall a great experience. We’ll be making this an annual trip!

Friendly, clean cabin with nice welcoming touches! If possible could you install a small railing to enter and exit the pool! Thank you very much for your hospitality!

Very family oriented which is great. Very clean. Campers were really nice. Dogs are permitted and dog owners are very responsible of their pets. They pick up after the dog has done its business, Personel at the office are very professional and pleasant. Unfortunately, we had to leave a day earlier. I was having heart issues due to the very warm weather. It is our intention to come back.

Friendly staff. Cabin was clean and all items bbq, ac etc worked. Loved how kid friendly the whole campsite was and all the kid things that were planned. We had enjoyed the mining too. My only feedback was the cover for the couch had a whole in it. We also used the couch cover for the pull out and another whole. For that price point that we pay for a cabin that needs to be fixed.

Great time with the kids lots of things for them to do.
Jul 14, 2025
Le seul petit point négatif, c’est qu’il manquait d’activité la semaine dernière.
Jul 14, 2025
Beautiful campsite, the kids loved all the activities. Will definitely be coming back again!
Jul 14, 2025
We had a wonderful stay. Memories were made and we will return!

Nice campground and people. But for the services, no sewer and WiFi bad, to high of a price for staying

As always we had an amazing stay at Cardinal KOA, our 7th year here! Everything is always so clean and so many activities to keep everyone busy! Was a little disappointed that the food services were very limited, and the store was not very well stocked. The addition of the "fancy" cold drinks in the store was a huge hit with my girls. Thanks Cardinal KOA, see you next summer!

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!
