Welcome to Campbell Canoes
Every Campbell Canoe is built with a simple belief:
Truly great canoes come from experience, attention to detail, good design and smart manufacturing techniques.
We produce the key components of our canoes in small batches, then bring them together to build a bespoke canoe specifically for you. This approach ensures consistent quality, keeps costs efficient, and delivers exceptional value without compromise.
From family days out to solo trips, long-distance touring and white-water adventures, Campbell Canoes are designed to be confidently capable across a wide range of uses. Stable when you need it. Responsive when you want it. Built to grow with your experience.
Every canoe is spec'd, finished and configured around how you plan to use it. And because you buy direct from our workshop, you deal with the people who make your canoe, cutting out retail mark-ups and ensuring outstanding craftsmanship at the best possible price.

Why Buy Direct from Campbell Canoes
Buying direct from our workshop means dealing directly with the people who live, breath, design and build your canoe, not a retailer in the middle.
From our Hertford and Cambridgeshire workshops, we keep quality high, waste low and costs as efficient as we can. There are no distributor margins, transport costs or retailer mark-ups added to the price you pay, meaning every pound you spend is on the highest quality materials and exceptional craftsmanship.
Just as importantly, you get real conversations with real people. We help you choose the right size, layout and finish for how you actually plan to paddle (both now and in the future) and if you have questions along the way, you speak directly to the makers, not a sales desk.
The outcome is simple, you get A LOT more canoe for your money and complete confidence in what you’re buying.
Craftsmanship &
Build Quality
Every Campbell Canoe is built to be used, trusted and relied upon - and that starts long before we start in the workshop.
We personally visit the timber yard to inspect every plank by hand. Only wood that meets our standards for strength, grain and consistency makes it into a Campbell Canoe; anything else is rejected. Key components are produced in small batches for accuracy and efficiency, then carefully assembled, finished and quality-checked in our workshops.
We use the highest quality stainless steel fixings, rope, webbing and hardest wearing oils to protect, strengthen and enhance each canoe.
We build for real use in the toughest locations and harshest conditions and with the right care, a Campbell Canoe will last you a lifetime of adventures

What Our Customers Say...
"Took my Campbell Canoe out on the Waveney River in Norfolk for the first time at the weekend. Absolutely love this canoe, beautifully crafted, sits comfortably in the water, extremely stable and cuts through the water amazingly. It’s got such a beautiful finish as well (got lots of comments throughout my trip), would highly recommend them!"
