What's better for camping - Canoe or Kayak?

What is better for camping - Canoe or Kayak? Here at Wenonah, one of the biggest questions we get asked all the time is, “ do you go with a canoe or kayak for camping?” Kayak camping works for unprotected, ocean water, but inland here, canoeing is far superior. You can put packs in and get them out easily, you can portage the canoe many places easier, in between lakes and small rivers. It’s very hard to unpack a kayak, lift it up and carry it then repack it with the hatches. A canoe is made for this. Canoe portaging and camping is what Wenonah Canoe is famous for. We make a great deal of ultra lightweight boats for this. So the answer to the question is, if you are in unprotected water and oceans, a kayak works great. If you are inland near lakes and rivers, the canoe is the superior craft.
