History of the Camp

New for 2007: We would like to introduce ourselves. We are Lloyd and Diana Cotton. We have owned Midnorth Outpost Camps for years and have now purchased Kanipahow Kamps. We are in the process of merging the two businesses together into Kanipahow Wilderness Resort & Outpost Camps. We have big plans to upgrade the camp and offer more quality services. Below is just some history of the camp.

In 1952 the Pilon family staked their claim to wilderness lands of the Northern Ontario Territories and opened the doors to Kanipahow Kamps, which is now called Kanipahow Resort. The abundant wildlife and rich fertile waters of the Chapleau River produced a hunting and fishing camp which would become well known all over North America. Today the family tradition lives on. Their support of conservation and wildlife management over the years has allowed them to maintain the high success rate that their customers enjoy today. Expert fishing and hunting skills have been passed down to the new generation of Pilons who invite you to come to Kanipahow Resort for a hunting and fishing vacation of a lifetime.

Located on the south-east end of Chapleau Lake, Kanipahow Resort' customers enjoy many miles of the famous Chapleau River and the many lakes which run into the river. Walleye, Northern Pike and Perch are abundant while adjacent lakes and streams have healthy populations of Speckled Trout (Brook Trout). Kanipahow Resort is also at the doorstep of the Chapleau Crown Game Preserve which is the biggest game preserve in the world. Our location is called the Black Bear capital of the world. It's easy to see why with an over 90% success rate for our Fall Black Bear hunt. We also see this success in our moose hunts.

We invite you to explore our web page and hope you have fun. A "Reservation Form" and an "Additional Information Request Form" are available at the bottom of most of our web pages so that we can take your reservation or mail out hard-copy brochures and prices to you.
