We were there two nights. Was very impressed with the theme weekend and all the activities they had planned. Extremely well suited for families with kids. Also, they took care of the facilities. Very enjoyable stay.

We had a great stay. My kids enjoyed the variety of activities. We also enjoyed the deluxe site we rented. We typically camp in more secluded Provincial Parks, so weren't quite sure what to expect, but I would certainly add another stay at KOA Cardinal. Everything was very clean and well cared for, the staff were also helpful and friendly. I recommend this place for sure.

The only thing I would note is that all of our extra expenditures (like firewood, ice cream, etc) were charged in one lump sum at the end without itemization. It would be nice to have the items detailed to have a better understanding of the expenses.

This is our 3rd stay! We always try to get here once a year as all the kids absolutely love it! It’s clean and so safe. This year we had 9 kids ranging from 3-10 and reach one of them had a ball! We will always recommend cardinal!

It was a repeat visit and just for overnight. We arrived at 7:45 and the office was closed with our material taped to window... posted hours are until 8:00. Many spots available and with a long rig they put us in a site directly between 2 other campers so it was very tight turning into our assigned site. Other than that it is a great place to stay.

We had an absolute blast! There are so many different activities for both my 4 year old and 14 year old child! We will definitely be recommending and returning.

Good stay with our grandchildren. Staff was very pleasant and helpful. Clean and nice park. The only suggestion I have is that there needs to be some shade in the pool area. It’s only June and the sun is brutal. Umbrellas would be a great investment, I had to find a shady spot outside the pool while my spouse watched our grandchildren because I could not tolerate the heat, even with a hat.

Short notice was accommodated very nicely. Very clean. Will book in on the return trip. Well worth the extra drive.!

Very clean, spacious and location is perfect for sightseeing in the areas. The staff is very friendly. This was our second time at this campground and we will definitely come back. Our goal is to try staying there at least one week a year.

We stayed in a cabin, very happy with the amenities, the activities for kids, bathrooms always clean and smell nice! Slight disapointed with no more free coffee in the morning at the store, the splash pad was not working and the chip truck didnt open on Saturday with out notice, tried to order a pizza they stopped taking orders because they had too many orders. Everything else was good.

Park was quiet as it was early in the season. Site was good and bathroom was clean. Had to wait for check in but other than that a decent stay.

This is an amazing, family friendly spot. We appreciated all of the well maintained activities and well organized events. The laid back atmosphere helped us enjoy our time even more. We will be back and we will tell all of our friends!

Another great stay at Cardinal KOA. We all had a blast! See you again in 2 weeks!

Quiet, very helpful staff to register us upon arriving. Bathrooms well maintained, clean. A quiet setting to stay for 1 night as we were travelling along Hwy 401. I would recommend this KOA. C Weber

We understand it is early season and this stay way perfect for us traveling across to the Maritimes, but with the campground basically empty they assigned us a site where there was a major mud hole right between the camper pad and the electric/water hook ups. Other than that it is a very nice facility.

I camped at an electric/water site; daughter and grand kids were in the cabin next door. Very rainy and cold weekend but we managed a few games of mini golf, pizza night, ice cream social, lots of play ground time, and one campfire. (Cost of wood was high) Loved: the clean bathrooms, camp staff, and especially loved the RV dump station having a hose already attached - so helpful!

Clean and quiet park.

Although the weekend temperatures were not ideal, the kids had lots of fun in the park, around the sites with the activities organized by the staff. While it was yet and cold all weekend, we are happy to have a hot cabin thanks to the furnace. It really made the weekend more enjoyable. The linen in the cabin felt and smelt fresh upon our arrival and everything was very clean. Thanks

Unfortunately our fridge in the lodge wasn't working. They switched our fridge with one from another lodge but by then our food had been unrefrigerated for 25 hrs. We ended up leaving one day before the end of our booking since we had nothing to eat. They refunded me one night but still out of $62 worth of food.

wet weekend not your fault but roads quite muddy/soft/ Also please repair the dog agility props. My dog fell off as ramps broke.

We LOVE Cardinal KOA. So many great activities and always so clean! We were excited to see they have a new pool liner this year! Pool is heated and better than ever. Also pretty impressed with the giant fireworks show they put on for the May long weekend. Much bigger and better than we expected. Keep up the great with Cardinal KOA! We'll be back in a few weeks - can't wait!

Food truck was not open, internet did not work at our site

This was our third time at this KOA. The campground is clean and they had lots of activities for the kids. A recommendation is to cut back the bushes along the A campsites. The overgrown bushes make it very difficult to back in the trailers and scratch the vehicles. 1 pump out station isn't enough when the campground is full even with the mobile unit.

It is inconvenient that the campsite does not have a drainage system. It is unreasonable to charge $20 for manual drainage. This should be the basic service of the campsite.

Water, stay and good workers.

During our recent stay this month May 2025 there was a HORRIFIC smell in the cabin. An animal must have died under the cabin. We told office staff multiple times, no move was offered, no checks. Our family has 2 autistic individuals who were severely affected, and still are, because EVERYTHING we brought HAD to be washed twice over to be rid of the stench. AND the women's showers had NO hot water

Absolutely highly recommend this campground. Especially to those who have children. The staff is very easy to deal with and they always have special events going on to help you and the little ones enjoy your stay! We've stayed at this location on multiple occasions over the last two summers and plan to do so again next year!

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!
