Get to know Camp Bjni.

Camp Bjni is a tent camping compound situated directly beside the Hrazdan River in the picturesque Kotayk province of Armenia. The mountainous village of Bjni is 40 minutes northeast of Yerevan.

We offer guests a place to rest, relax, and enjoy our remarkable scenery, fresh mountain air and the rich, wild flora and fauna of this beautiful terrain.

Activities

You may participate in recreational activities and enjoy the company of fellow guests as your comfort dictates. Visitors camp, hike, bike, fish, swim, sunbathe, raft, bird watch, sightsee, barbecue, visit mineral water spas, observe local culinary customs or simply detach from busy city life.

Camping

Guests have the option of bringing their own camping tents to our campground; accessing our outdoor tents that accommodate 1-8 people; reserving a room in the “Sev Khrjit” Lodge whose bedrooms accommodate two people or a small family per room; or renting the entire Lodge. Bring your own bikes and fishing poles!

Hospitality

Camp Bjni’s hosts are international Armenians who enjoy extending that very special level of Armenian hospitality that is recognized around the world. We welcome you to participate in excursions and social activities with us, if you wish. Cultural and outdoor events are scheduled at Camp Bjni throughout the camping season for our guests and the general public to enjoy.

Before & After of “The Sev Khrjit”

One of Camp Bjni’s proprietors, Mikayel Sukiasyan, has ancestral roots in Bjni. As a third generation Yerevantsi and dual US-Armenia citizen, Mikayel spent summers in his youth visiting Bjni with his Tatik who was born and raised there.

In his adulthood, Mikayel worked so frequently that he did not get to appreciate the changing of the seasons. Realizing how disconnected from nature he had become, Mikayel vowed to change all that. He purchased a plot of land to one day build his own summer house in Bjni and construction began in 2022.

During the building process, Mikayel began to think about how much he’d like to share the natural beauty of Bjni with his fellow Armenians. With the help of like-minded friends in the Diaspora, Mikayel purchased a second plot of land directly across from the first. Together they decided to launch a tent campground for hikers and nature lovers and Camp Bjni was born.
