We absolutely love the Parry Sound KOA! This was our third time staying here, and we’re already thinking about booking our next trip. Tristan and Taylor are so kind and welcoming — they truly make every visit special. My daughter always has the best time and never wants to leave! There are tons of fun activities for kids and great events for families to enjoy. The amenities are always super clean and well-maintained. We can’t say enough good things about this campground — we’re always recommending it to our family and friends!

This was our first time at the Parry Sound KOA. The hosts are welcoming and courteous. They offered fun activities on Saturday. We enjoyed the pie tasting, the sack race and the apple carrying race. The community bonfire with s'mores and cider floats was fun too! It's a short, scenic drive to Oastler Provincial Park. We love the lake at Oastler and did go for a couple of hours. You can also drive into Parry Sound in about 15 minutes. The camp store is well stocked, so may not even need to! Our site was spacious and clean. We would 100% stay here again, and maybe plan to be here when the pool is open!

Tristan and Taylor are fantastic hosts. This campground is clean and meticulously maintained. The cabins are perfect! The mini fridge is so helpful. Thanks for a great weekend at the Great Autumn Campout! We will be returning.

Visited with my family on the long weekend and all I can say is that I was NOT impressed. As someone who's been going to KOA cabin sites for years, I think Parry Sound would be the lowest on my list. The location was horrible. Right next to train tracks and every few hours, a train would pass and a loud horn would blow. Even though the night. The actual surrounding area was pretty, and relatively close to the highway and food spots, but the actual campsite was not ideal. I did find the out-door space nice, though. The entire campsite was also disorganized. On their map, it clearly has tents, cabins, and RVs separate, however once we got there, we realized there was only one bathroom. For both campers and those using cabins. I don't know if it's a money grab issue, but one of the worst things was that there was campers in between the cabins. There NO SPACE and NO CONSIDERATION and absolutely NO PRIVACY. The parking is also the worst. We had 5 cabins. Five cabins worth of money, and yet, when we parked our car beside the cabin, the campers complained that we were too close and the supervisor told us we needed to move. That itself was a whole issue because we paid for that space and the campers did not use their picnic table even once. Horrible service. The layout of the cabins was horrible and it was impossible for all 18 of us to somehow sit together due to the campers around us. The space felt so congested. We've never had this issue before, not in Barrie or Owen Sound. I would not recommend and I was incredibly disappointed. Would not visit again.

This is the second visit for our family of two adults, two kids and having just as great an experience as the first time. Our cabin has a great set up and well-situated to access the shared facilities including the pool and restrooms. Staff are constantly at work maintaining the grounds and always available to offer assistance or set us up for fun, including mini golf, badminton or scavenger hunt activities. Friendly campers, a chill vibe, a good balance of nature and convenient amenities, and great location have made KOA Parry Sound an easy choice when planning our summer vacation. Our son is already asking when we can come back next year!

Thanks KOA crew you made a stay special. Tristan was proactive that we got a tenting site that made our stay memorable and special. They carted all the wood to our site and just made our stay very comfortable. The place was clean and quiet and relaxed. We really enjoyed our time there. Thanks to you all

Very nice, well kept campground. Super friendly staff. Would have given it a 5 but the fact that they never disclosed to us at booking that there full service spots did not include sanitation was a bit of a disappointment. They do however offer one free sanitation pickup.

Had the perfect trip to the Parry Sound KOA. Stayed 2 nights and my kids can’t wait to go back. We frequent the provincial parks to camp and didn’t think we’d enjoy a small scale family campground as much. The Parry Sound KOA exceeded our expectations. My kids whipped around on their bikes with new friends from other sites; to the park, mini putt, and to play hide and seek. Water games for the kids led by the staff on Saturday was a nice treat, while we relaxed nearby by the warm pool. Washrooms and showers were clean. Store was handy and convenient. Ice cream shop was a nice bonus. We had our 12,8 and 1 year old boys and they were in heaven, and I felt so safe having them roam free. The staff were all So accommodating and happy to help, Tristan went above and beyond. I would recommend paying the fee to select your own site; some are better than others if you are “picky” like us, who wanted a little quieter site because of the baby. This is one place we will return for sure, amazing family memories made!

Been to Michelle and Dons KOA many times go most yrs, excellent place to camp or rent a cabin from basic to fully equipped kitchen and bathroom facilities. Recommended to anyone. Quiet place and supper friendly.
