Can Parkbus offer extra stops on demand?
Unfortunately we cannot do it for many reasons, including safety, liability and our agreements with the park and our partners. However, we are constantly reviewing our operations, and if you have any suggestions or ideas, including new stops for the future, do get in touch!
Is there cellphone reception in the park?
There is reception in many areas of the park, but not everywhere. Some operators, will only allow you access to emergency calls (911) in the area.
Can I bring pets on the bus?
Pets are not allowed on this route.
How much luggage can we bring on the bus? What about bikes?
We run 56 seater passenger buses on this route, and generally you can bring suitcases, backpacks, coolers, and other camping equipment. We allow up to 4 bikes per bus, on first-come, first-served basis where you have to call us in advance and reserve your spots.
Folding bikes, and folding/inflatable kayaks do not require pre-approval as long as they do not take more space than a large suitcase would - if you are not sure, give us a call! Regular canoes and kayaks are NOT allowed as they will not fit.
Fireworks, firewood, and firearms are NOT permitted on board or in the luggage compartment
Is there bathroom on board? Do you make a stop on the way?
There are bathrooms on board most buses. We also make a 15 min stop about half way into the journey to allow passengers a quick visit to fast food, washrooms, etc on the way.
