We have stayed in this park many times and have enjoyed the large sites. The indoor pool is great for kids and there is plenty of area for them to play. If you enjoy trap shooting or archery this is the place to visit.

What campers say
The Cardinal Center offers large, shaded campsites, roomy cabins, and a family-friendly atmosphere with events, a catch-and-release pond and convenient golf-cart rentals. Many visitors praise clean restrooms, a pleasant pool and welcoming office staff, and the site works well for group gatherings. Expect tradeoffs: some sites near I-71 register traffic noise, and several guests reported pool closures, heating issues, or a shift toward outdoor pool use. A few reviewers mentioned inconsistent staff responsiveness, muddy sites after rain and occasional onsite maintenance or trash concerns. Overall it’s a spacious, activity-rich campground worth visiting with seasonal planning.
