Hello Douglas,
You will need to check your owners manual to see what Toyota says your Camry can tow, just because a hitch is rated higher doesn't mean you should be towing that much with your vehicle.
The highest rated hitch that we have fitting your 2009 Toyota Camry is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # C12343.
If you need some wiring to go with it for some light towing or a hitch mounted accessory, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118405 is a great choice. Don't forget a # 18136 and # C42CR for a clean looking install.
For a ball mount you will want the Drawbar for 1-1/4" Hitch - 2-5/8" Rise, 3-1/4" Drop - 7-3/16" Long - 3.5K # 36071, and for a ball # 19258 for a 2" ball, or a # 19256 for a 1 7/8" ball.
What are you looking to tow with your Camry?
