Camp Hi Canoe & Kayak offers primitive tent camping along the river in Hiram: five individual tent sites (two to three tents per site) plus two group sites with adjacent pavilions, each equipped with a campfire ring for cooking. The setup is intentionally simple—bring your own tent, food and water—and built for nights under the stars and quiet riverside evenings.

THE SITES

Riverside tent sites with communal campfire rings

Five individual tent sites (two to three tents each) sit along the river, each with a campfire ring provided for cooking and evening fires—simple, communal, and close to the water.

THE GROUP OPTIONS

Two group sites with adjacent pavilions

For larger gatherings there are two group sites, each with an adjacent pavilion that gives groups a sheltered base while still maintaining a primitive camping feel.

THE BASICS

Bring-your-own provisioning, on-site supplies available

This is primitive camping—guests must bring their own tents, food, and water; the camp’s store does sell firewood, ice, and bottled drinking water for convenience.

What the day feels like

What It Feels Like to Camp Here

The experience is uncomplicated and elemental: arrive, stake a tent near the river, build a fire in your site’s ring, and spend the evening under an open sky. Sites are laid out for small parties or groups and emphasize self-sufficiency—pack the essentials and rely on the on-site store only for last-minute supplies.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this stay suits — and who should plan differently.

1
Small GroupsWell-suited: sites accommodate small parties and groups (maximum 8 people per site), and group sites with pavilions accommodate larger gatherings.
2
Self-Sufficient CampersWell-suited: the experience is primitive—campers must bring their own tents, food, and water, relying on minimal on-site retail for limited supplies.
3
Families with Young ChildrenMixed fit: families can use the individual or group sites but should note site capacity limits and that facilities are primitive; plan accordingly for food, water, and supervision.
4
Weekenders & Short-Stay CampersWell-suited: stays are offered from one to seven nights, making the camp flexible for single-night trips or longer weekend stays.
