Barrie KOA Holiday

We had a nice week-long stay in one of the deluxe cabins. The cabin itself was perfect for our family. It was very clean and well-equipped. We were extremely disappointed that the pool closed for the season on the day of our arrival, despite the whole next week being sunny, warm weather (not uncommon for September!).

It was very clean and well-equipped. We were extremely disappointed that the pool closed for the season on the day of our arrival, despite the whole next week being sunny, warm weather (not uncommon for September!). We didn't realize this was the case, and showed up at the pool with our kids in their swimsuits to find it locked, and were informed that the closing date is chosen at the beginning of each year and can't be changed. It would have been good to mention this at check-in, or latest when I came into the store and asked if they had water wings for sale! Would have saved me two upset toddlers! It seems a bit strange that the campground can't react to the current weather conditions and keep the pool open a bit longer, but luckily there are several nice beaches in the region. We also found it inconvenient that there are no blankets, pillows or linens available. We were flying in from out-of-country for two weeks, so could hardly pack our own. Finally, we found the visitor fee unnecessary, although it's not expensive. We were staying at this particular campground so we could visit family nearby, and had to pay for a visitor's day pass whenever they wanted to join us. Given the price of the cabin, it seemed a bit ridiculous to also have to pay a visitor fee so the kids' grandparents could come spend time with them at the playground or eat a pizza with us. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay and found the facilities and services (firewood and pizza delivery!) very nice.

Really, really appreciate the staff's across the board effort to be friendly. Everyone we interacted with was nice. (And it was HOT.) Service was outstanding. Did not use the wifi myself but I'm told no complaints, at all. Pizza was delicious. Delivery to site was appreciated.

Really, really appreciate the staff's across the board effort to be friendly. Everyone we interacted with was nice. (And it was HOT.) Service was outstanding. Did not use the wifi myself but I'm told no complaints, at all. Pizza was delicious. Delivery to site was appreciated. Garbage pickup daily at noon also very civilized, plus observed staff offering to take garbage for people on a couple of occasions. (We were walking our trash to bins in the evening and someone in a golf cart stopped what they were doing and offered to take it from us - again, service outstanding.) Kids activities every day, even through the week. We will definitely be back. Thanks for a great visit.

What a great time we had!!! Stayed in the Deluxe cabin. We had perfect weather and even better stay!!! The Cabin was very clean and comfortable because it had both a heater and a air conditioner. The porch was so nice to sit on and just relax!!! The firepit area was perfect too!!! The staff was so friendly and helpful!!! The KOA kitchen is great if you don't feel like cooking!!!
