1000 Islands / Kingston KOA Holiday
A clean, well-kept KOA near Kingston with big level sites, full hookups and lots for kids and dogs, though it sits by the highway and a few cabin guests have reported insect problems.
What visitors say
This KOA is a developed RV-style campground rather than a back-to-nature spot. It sits off the highway between Kingston and Gananoque, with trees sparsely scattered across the grounds, and reviewers say traffic noise carries to most sites. What it does well is tidiness: most guests describe the property as well maintained and very clean.
Sites get strong marks for being large and level, with water, electric and sewer hookups available, and one reviewer noted it clearly caters to big rigs. The individual bathrooms are repeatedly praised for being clean. The better cabins come with a full kitchen and fridge, and a couple of guests said they needed to bring nothing for cooking. Most reviewers found the staff friendly and helpful.
Families have plenty to do. Reviewers mention a big playground, a pool, a soccer field, volleyball and a zip line, and dog owners like the large dog park. Kingston and Gananoque are both close for day trips.
The complaints mostly centre on the rustic cabins. Two recent families reported insect problems, one with earwigs and one with cockroaches, and both were unhappy with how management responded. Another family found no blankets or pillows supplied. Back sites have weak cell signal, the Wi-Fi doesn't reach them, and it's a long walk to the washrooms, so one guest suggested paying to pick a site near the front. If you book a rustic cabin, bring your own bedding.
