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

We had a wonderful stay, our son loved all the activities and amenities. Can’t wait to come again!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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

Excellent experience! My family and I are returning clients 3 years in a row now.

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”

We had a wonderful time and loved all of the amenities there was to offer. We will be back next year!

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

I love KOA Cardinal campground!! Very well setup & tons of fun for kids. Staff are always very friendly & helpful See you next summer �

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

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.

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.

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!
Jul 16, 2025
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!

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.
Jul 14, 2025
Le seul petit point négatif, c’est qu’il manquait d’activité la semaine dernière.

We had a wonderful stay. Memories were made and we will return!

We were happy with our stay and had an enjoyable experience overall. Pros: * The cabin was clean and well-maintained. * The heating and air conditioning worked very well. * The cabin was well-equipped * The recreational facilities and activities organized for children were fantastic and very engaging. * The staff were very friendly, helpful, and provided excellent customer service. Cons: * The cabin was advertised as accommodating 6 people, with a queen bed, a bunk bed, and a pull-out couch. The beds were reasonably comfortable, but the couch was unusable for sleeping due to a severe dip in the middle, making it uncomfortable and likely to cause back pain. In reality, the cabin only had 4 comfortable sleeping spaces, not 6. * The propane BBQ had a very weak flame, which made it difficult to cook our food properly. * There was a sewage-like smell inside the cabin throughout the night. * There was also an unpleasant sewage smell in the campground, apparently due to the RV dumping station being located nearby. * At 3 PM on Sunday, I was told bike rentals had ended for the season. Two hours later, my upset 8-year-old saw other kids renting bikes. The staff explained they had resumed rentals due to high demand and kindly offered us a free ride, which I appreciated. However, the inconsistent information left us both disappointed. I hope this doesn't happen again.

Nice campground. No sewer hook ups but there is a dump station. Place was pretty empty when we came so was a little disappointed they put us in a pull through site that was very hard to turn into and no room for our truck. So many sites would of accomodated us better

If you have kids and they love interacting with other kids come here. Kids all over having fun. Lots of things for them to do. Splash pad and large play structure was the highlight. Although better parental supervision is required. Park was clean and staff pleasant. Some sites were very narrow however our patio site was probably the best for space. Lots of nice large trees. Park is close to Ottawa and the 401. $15 for firewood is reasonable. Only 4 stars as no sewer available (strange for KOA). Better dumping setup and control by staff during check-out is required. Road to exit was completely blocked. Even if you didn't need to dump you were forced to wait. Kids want to return so I guess we are!
