The Halloween weekend was off the charts!! Phenomenal job to the staff for making it a weekend we will remember all winter. Thanks for going the extra mile and making everything safe.

location is very clean and has lots to do for the kids. However the owners need to take a course in customer service so that they can learn to talk to people better. I have no problem if someone needs to come over and ask us to turn the music down etc, but there are better ways of talking to your customers. We did not feel that our business was valued what so ever after booking 2 cabins and 2 tent

We had a fun time while being there, wish they didn't charge for everything like mini putt etc. Other KOA's don't charge for anything. I feel only 25 min of swim isn't enough when you have kids and they don't have a beach. Working staff is nice, the manager seemed like a B****. Got mad cuz I was holding the door open for a lady and a baby & said close the door cuz of the air. Also she was nasty.

This was our first time experiencing a KOA campsite and it was awesome!! Couldn't believe how much there was to do for our daughter. Would definitely stay here again.

The campground was extremely clean and quiet. The sanded tent pad was perfect for our over sized tent. Would definitely go back!

Amazing as always. My son and I created s'more memories! The staff is incredible. The grounds are clean and well maintained. And I felt very safe with all the covid-19 arrangements made. Thank you again for another great stay. See you next year!!

We booked for 2 nights. We had to delay visit at last minute due to Covid testing. Staff was very accommodating to allow us to move reservation without penalty till we were cleared. Also super nice front desk staff and employees. Pool was very clean. Bingo was fun. Bathrooms immaculate. Only thing is firewood was was overpriced 11$ for 6 small pieces and no kindling. It’s was dry tho.

You are not allowed to tie any rope/string/clothes line on the trees, so if you want to put a turf over your tent, you will have to basically peg them on the ground and be creative. The washrooms were kept clean at all times but the showers are kind a outdated compared to others. I wish the staff are a little bit more friendlier and accommodating like the other KOAs we’ve been.

My family and I had a great stay at this KOA. It was not our first stay at a KOA and once again we were not disappointed. Even with Covid-19 and having to use the washroom/shower facilities, the pool, the playground we still felt comfortable and safe to use them. The staff was always smiling and friendly. This KOA is driving distance to some of Ontario’s top attractions.

We had a wonderful time at this KOA. We enjoyed the activities like mini golf, bikes and bingo. Very creative way to handle an activity like a campground bingo game while ensuring everyone is social distancing! We loved the pool booking system too! The staff were extremely friendly and helpful! We wish renters could stay on sites other than the 4 designated tent sites. Thanks for a fun few days!

Campground is great and all their staff is great except the owner he is a old guy who is extremely rude and the other thing I did not like was they do not want anything tied to their trees so we couldn’t put a tarp up to protect ourselves from rain..... also we wanted to put up a hammock but couldn’t do that either ......

Amazing campground with excellent covid measures in place!
Aug 07, 2020
We had a great stay! Bathrooms were very clean lots of things to do very friendly staff our only complaint would be another tenter allowing there toddler to scream for over an hour at 5am but that's by no means the campgrounds fault! We will definitely be returning it was an amazing family break and a nice distraction during this pandemic!

We had a great stay, despite the rain. The staff was very friendly and made everything fun and Covid friendly. We had so much fun we booked another weekend :)

Overall , it was very good.I was in a tent with wife and two boys under 5. The staff were helpful. Pretty quiet overall except for somebody with a trailer and a hammer rolling in at around 3am making some noise which probably should not have happened

CAMPGROUND RESPONSE / COMMENTS:

Thank you for staying with us. We sincerely apologize for the campers that arrived after our 11 pm cut off time. This rule is in place to prevent this from happening. Unfortunately, some campers do not consider their impact on others or feel the rules don't apply. Travel Safely!

We stay at KOA Cardinal every summer. We love camping here. There is always so much for the kids to do and a really great family campsite. I always bring my daughter for a girls camping weekend and I always feel safe and I love how clean the facilities are. The staff is always working hard and are very friendly and helpful. I have recommended KOA Cardinal to all my friends.

I’ve been to 3 or 4 KOA sites and I think this is my favourite. Very clean and super friendly people.

Came for a visit at the end of July. We stayed in one of the cabins. The campground is well maintained. There were a lot of rules. We did our best to follow them. The fact we could only use pool in 30 minute increments was a little excessive. Hopefully when the pandemic restrictions soften they will let more people use pool as it really made things less fun. The owners were ok. We didn't have a bad experience with them but when I did speak to them they certainly weren't the nicest or best hosts that we have had at KOA's. The owners weren't mean. Just seemed busy all the time. Can't be easy to run a business in a pandemic so I have to say it wasn't a deal breaker for us. The campground was only about half full. Perhaps the pandemic was the reason why or maybe the bad reviews are finally catching up to them. We used this campground as a base to go visit Ottawa. Drive to Ottawa wasn't bad. Was nice to have all the outdoor activities for the kids.

KOA I incredible ❤ I recommend 100% there so much for kids to do 2 parks a splash pad and a huge bubble to bounce on. Plus they schedule events such as the best haunted house I've ever experienced.
