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.

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.

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

We had much fun over the Thanksgiving Halloween weekend. Much enjoyed the deluxed cabin

It was the first we stayed in a cabin and they were very nice. We enjoyed our stay!

Everything was done very well. The only disappointment was that some of the extra events such as the haunted house, pumpkin walk…. seem to be smaller every year. Would love to see them restored

Two years in a row we have done Halloween weekend and we have had a lot of fun! The kids want to do it again next year. We may make this an annual tradition for years to come.

We stayed in one of the log cabins. They were clean and well kitted out with a mini fridge, microwave and Coffee machine. The activities for the Halloween themed weekend were fun and the kids had a great weekend.

Amazing, fun filled Halloween weekend, spent with my husband & kids! Staff were very helpful and nice- They went above and beyond with the haunted house & all other activities! We plan on coming back when pool/splash pad is open! Only downside is the price of firewood. $15 for 8-9 pieces is outrageous.

Very friendly employees working. Was very easy to change accommodations for our second night as it was too cold to tent sleep with my children. We changed to a wilderness cabin and it was perfect for our family. The kids loved the bunk beds and that they could watch a movie as they fell asleep. Would definitely come back and recommend to others this campground.

Great cottage! Everything was included. Quiet location.

Our Lodge had some faulty/broken items. Tv wasn't mounted to the wall. We had a replacement TV sitting on the shelf. Our BBQ provided did not work at all.

Lots for the kids to do. Safe environment. Clean. Prompt response to requests and or problems.

I'm not much of a trip planner so when my coworker suggested KOA as a place to take my 4-year-old, I thought it sounded perfect. It didn't disappoint! I booked a cabin with a washroom and bathtub, which seemed like a key ingredient for camping with a young child. But after that, there really wasn't much else to prep. Everything I needed was on site! Super kid friendly and felt very safe and clean.

Very clean, lots of activities for the kids.

Great place to stop with kids. So much for them to do. Planned activities everyday. Playground Wonderland. The 4 wheel bikes are really fun. They even have a Family Bike for 4 people. The cabins were clean and well thought out. Three of the four walls had a row of double hooks for hats, coats, bags etc. Friendly staff. Located midway between Ottawa & 1000 Islands.

Very nice campground and amenities. Serivce makes the difference and you certainlty did offer Service with a smile. We were a group of 30+ in 10 of the cabins and they were very comfortable and had all that we needed. Suggest to double up on mattresses for the Bunk beds to make them more comfortable; they are ok for little kids but not so much for adults.
Aug 26, 2024
The site is so clean and well kept. The activities for the kids are amazing. The cabin we stayed in was so lovely and everything we needed. We did find though that the communication could be improved. We asked about laundry and were told $2 per load for both washer and dryer but the machines said $3, and they actually took $2.50. Also, cabins were hoarding and hiding dino bikes without paying.

A first time family cabin camping experience. CARDINAL South was very clean, lots of activities, and excellent property maintenance. Unfortunately their property gets very swampy with any rain, but is beyond their control. We had a great stay!

Wifi inexistant dans les cabines au fond du camping. Wifi Cardinal 2. Jamais fonctionné en 4 jours. Il faudrait investir car beaucoup de terrains sont inondés. Certains ne pourraient même pas être loués. Dommage. Camping et cabines très propres. Belles activités pour les enfants.

All good. Would have liked AC/heating instructions. Bunk beds mattresses were VERY thin, and a small reading light at each bunk would be great. Bedding was good. Nice and clean. No dishwasher and write up said there was. Needed more than one dish towel and cloth. Where do you put the clean washed dishes. A couple more medium sized bowls would be helpful. Enjoyed the cabin and was comfortable.

Thank you for a wonderful weekend, Cardinal KOA is always a highlight of our summer and we loved dino weekend! The activities, amenities and staff were great. First time in a camping cabin, which worked out perfectly for us. One suggestion I have is to add hooks on the porch to hang towels/bathing suits, etc. Thanks again, we will be back next year!

Hello, we stayed at KOA Cardinal in Ontario Canada 13-15 August. We stayed in a Deluxe cabin. The temperature during our stay was very hot and the air conditioner didn't work. My family of 5 didn't sleep the entire first night. We were so exhausted and it completely ruined our experience. We reported the next day and maintenance came and worked on it to get it running but it didn't cool the cabin

So many fun activities for kids. Pool was a bit too chilly this year. Dog park needs Reno’s. The gates didn’t latch� extra staff for chip wagon would be great. Waited 25 mins for fries

-The property needs drainage- it was a giant puddle. -The pool feels like ice and need more heat -The mattress in my Cabin has seen better day -The bathroom countertops are particle board that are constantly exposed to water and it look disgusting -Rugs in cabin- dirty I liked the food trucks

We were impressed with the cleanliness of the KOA, the helpful owners when our cabin heater did not work, and the variety of well-organised activities for our 8 year old grandson. The cabin was small but comfortable with a/c, heat and shower. Prices for activities and supplies from the store were reasonable. A good time was had by all!

We have been 4 years in a row. This year they had to fix the pool. Instead of getting a load of water they spent all day with a garden hose. The pool was freezing and they didn't keep the heater full of wood to heat the pool.

We were impressed with how clean and comfortable the cabin was. It was equipped with pretty well everything we needed. Since visitors are told to eat outside, it would be handy to have a tray provided for moving the food and dishes. Our only real complain was the lack of internet services. We could log in to your network, but then we could not even get email. Even data on phone service was poor

Very welcoming. Very clean. The kids really enjoyed the pool, all play structures and activities. The pizza was excellent. Everything available on site, from propane tank, dryer & washer, food, lodging of all kinds. I highly recommend it if you have kids from newborn to 13 years old. Family oriented camping. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Thanks for an excellent summer vacation!

Very clean and comfortable lodge, fun activities, and loved how all the KOA guests were friendly and respectful of the rules. Perfect for families.

We enjoyed all the planned activities for the children. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The staff were excellent, friendly and very helpful. I will definitely be returning.

Poor management and control of the park. Kids in charge to manage situations. Just pathetic. Constantly disappointing.

Very unpleasant stay, the staff was not welcoming and acted unprofessionally, they seem to have been policing the children visiting in an aggressive manner- Seasonal campers were not welcoming to visitors of the campground - Weird activity in the evening hours including a biker gang and then the activity of police. This is clearly not a family-friendly campground.

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

There are rules in place to keep EVERYONE on the campground safe and happy. There was no biker gang, they were simply a group of motorcyclists visiting a family. The police were called to assist in enforcing rules to intoxicated campers at night. We pride ourselves on having kind staff.

Deluxe cabins were great and clean upon arrival. Only thing that was missing was shampoo/soap for the shower/tub. Tons of activities for the kids.

Staff was very friendly and good accommodations. Works great for solo motorcycle trips.

Great place to camp with children! We've come here a few years now and love it. Very clean bathrooms, great food they offer with chip truck Fridays, pizza Saturdays and brunch now too! Great and kind staff, great pool and splash pad brand new. Thank you!
