In the rain, all activities were canceled, the campground was inondated, and there was really not much to do. The front desk has a sign that coffee is free but in the end one needs to pay. So not overly thrilled with this stay

Always a good time! So many activities for the kids, they have such a great time and the adults do too. We love the cabins!

The staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful. The activities were well organized, with staff strategically placed to assist children and ensure everyone's safety. We enjoyed visits from friends, and everyone had a fantastic weekend, with the weather even cooperating!

Cottage was. Perfect. Internet access poor. We looked for a place to watch the Euro soccer match, but no community room was available. Internet too poor at the cabin.

Overall I really like this KOA, however the cabin had a couple of things that could have been in better repair: the air conditioner had visible black mold in the interior fins so we weren’t able to use it, with only the fan it was very hot for sleeping. The bed is too soft/bouncy so we both are very sore from our 3 nights stay. Minor, but the curtain rod was bent so we couldn’t adjust the curt

This was our 3rd time here. We come for the kids activities, but tried the Chip Wagon too. It was nice to have a change from our usual camp food, but it is far overpriced when the city is only 10 minutes away with better options. Also, the fire wood is twice what we pay elsewhere, and the prices are not clearly displayed so we were surprised when we found out from the 2nd bag! Buyer beware!

Our stay was great other than pool getting closed because kids pooped and puked in it. Obviously under no control of KOA. Other than that the kids had a good time at the organized events and our cabin was great. We did leave message with office that our deluxe cabin didn't have a dishwasher k this year but did in the past few years. Staff were helpful and quick responding to concerns.

The Lodges are amazing. Have everything you need!

Very nice Cabin. Great activities on site. Good prices inside the store. Excellent Service. Wifi signal was too low/unusable from Lodge 04 cabin but other than that everything was perfect. We will definitely book again in the future. Thanks

New ownership has greatly improved the overall facilities. Quick to address any concerns. We'll be back!

Wonderful first experience. Staff was wonderful. Grounds clean. Cabin more than we expected. Activities super fun. Everything was wonderful.

Very disappointed that the splash pad wasn’t opened, probably would have went elsewhere if I had known ahead of time.

Lovely rainy weekend in one of the lodges. Lodge needs to be updated- couch is pretty worn out and mattress on bottom bunk is uncomfortable.

Bonjour Le chalet était propre et accueillant. Manque d’organisation et très décevant le repas de dinde qu’on nous a servi. Très dispendieux pour une longue fin de semaine. Denis

This was our third year coming up as a whole family for the final weekend of the year. The weather isn’t always bright and sunny, but the smiles always are!

It was great. Camp ground was clean, and the service was excellent. Lots of activities for the kids too.
Sep 03, 2023
We had a wonderful time and will be back next year. There is always lots to do and the kids are never bored -- crafts, sport games, go-carts, mini-putt, bingo and movie night.

The cabin was incredibly clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly and accommodating. The kids LOVED the activities throughout the week and the playground and jumping pillow. The pool was a little cool a few times so we only lasted about 20mins on those days. We have been coming for the past 3years and already booked for next year. It's a great family fun Campground.

This was our second stay of the summer so we clearly like it here! My only complaint would be thaat the kids movie was scheduled to start at 9pm, which is quite late for the intended audience!
Aug 29, 2023
LOVED EVERY MINUTE! Kids had a blast.. grown-ups got to relax. Super friendly staff, great prices, awesome things to do. Coming back asap

It was our first time staying at a KAO camp site and we absolutely loved it!! The cabins are super comfortable and the facilities are top notch. We will definitely be coming back next year!!

Unfortunately we didnt get time to use the pool but it looked beautiful

We rented a lodge cabin. Very clean. BBQ grill and side burner were great for cooking. Also had a microwave. BBQ grill and brush could be replaced. Keurig came with coffee pods. Dishes, utensils, pots/pans supplied. Good size fridge/freezer. Kids loved the play area and the gaga ball pit.

Another amazing stay at Cardinal KOA
Aug 26, 2023
We stayed for 5 nights, 3 in a small deluxe cabin that sleeps up to 4 w/air conditioning, a half bath & small fridge & the final 2 nights we moved to a larger cabin with f/ bath & f/fridge & a pull out couch. It was very clean & near the play structure, jumping pillows & swimming pool. The grounds & facilities were well kept as well! Staff were helpful & friendly! Overall a great experience!

I booked a full cabin months ahead along with daughter who booked at the same time, wanting cabins beside each other. Called day before to confirm, got there and they gave the cabin I picked away! Not impressed at all!! Pool was FREEZING!! Could not enjoy it! Needless to say, we won’t be back… last year was great, this year, not so much!
Aug 24, 2023
We enjoyed our stay and the camping site itself is great. Lots of things for the kids to do
Aug 24, 2023
We stayed for 6 nights! The cabins are very clean & have air conditioning. The largest cabins have quite a well equipped kitchen & full bathroom. There’s also lots of activities! the pool is very clean & also offers a splash pad! The kids loved their stay!

Everything was wonderful except the pee/sewage smell in the cabins bathroom.

Great time. Some of the items in the Kabin were In disrepair but they were only small things. (Light above bed) The facilities were clean and pool was great temperature. Staff were friendly.

Great stay as usual but bring back the hay ride. It was always so much fun for all.

Beau chalet, très propre. Belle salle de bain. Activités pour les enfants. Super beau séjour
Aug 15, 2023
This was our second visit to the Cardinal KOA and we will definitely be back! Our only negative reviews are that the pool is quite cold, a pool cover and more consistent wood on the heater would make a big difference. The 5 and under play area is also falling apart, so a bit of TLC would be great as well!
Aug 15, 2023
Significantly changed since the new owners took over and not for the better. We paid for two day and with check-in at 4 pm doesn't give us much of a day. No activities on Sunday for the kids. After 12 years of wonderful memories at this KOA, this trip was a big disappointment. We will not be returning and this makes us so sad.

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!
