Why Choose Knoxville Shuttle Bus Rentals for Camp Transportation?
When you book with Knoxville Shuttle Bus Rentals, you get a team that understands the unique needs of summer camps because we've done it all before. We've worked with local favorites like Camp Ba-Yo-Ca, Wesley Woods, and Camp Ocoee YMCA, as well as school-affiliated programs at Webb School of Knoxville and Catholic High School. Need multiple buses arriving staggered times? Last-minute headcount changes? Special luggage handling for backpacking trips? We've seen it all and we know how to keep things running smoothly.
We operate 365 days a year and always have someone available to answer questions, provide quotes, and coordinate logistics. Just tell us your schedule, headcount, and any special requests, and we'll build a custom transportation plan that fits your budget and keeps your camp running on time.
Custom Itineraries for Every Camp Schedule
No two camps run on the same schedule—and neither should their transportation. When you book with Knoxville Shuttle Bus Rentals, you set the pickup times, drop-off locations, and everything in between. Running a day camp with staggered arrival times? Hosting an overnight session deep in the Smokies? Need a bus to follow your exact itinerary for field trips to Zoo Knoxville, Dollywood, or the Knoxville Museum of Art? We'll create a custom route that matches your agenda—not the other way around.
Our team has experience navigating tight mountain roads, rural camp entrances, and busy city streets, so you can trust us to get everyone there safely and on time. We also offer multi-bus packages for larger groups and can station vehicles on-site for quick turnarounds between activities.
Comfortable Buses With Room for Gear
Summer camp means traveling with stuff—from duffel bags and sleeping pads to sports equipment and musical instruments. Our fleet includes vehicles with plenty of storage options, including undercarriage bays on larger models and rear cargo areas on smaller buses. Bring your backpacks, coolers, and even kayaks—we'll make sure it all fits.
Inside the cabin, campers will find reclining seats, adjustable headrests, and optional upgrades like Wi-Fi and power outlets. It's a comfortable ride whether you're shuttling across town or heading out for a multi-day excursion.
Easy Airport Transfers to Mcghee Tyson (tys)
If you have campers flying in from out of state, getting them to and from the airport can be a logistical headache. Skip the caravan of parent vehicles and book a private shuttle instead. We'll pick up your group curbside at McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) and deliver them directly to your campsite anywhere in the region. Out-of-town groups arriving via Knoxville Station (Greyhound) or Megabus can also take advantage of our ground transportation services.
For departing flights, we'll make sure everyone arrives at the terminal with plenty of time to check bags and clear security. It's the easiest way to move large groups of kids through a busy airport without anyone getting separated.
Field Trip and Excursion Transportation
Camps don't stay put—and neither do we. Book a charter bus for your next off-site adventure and keep the spirit of camp alive on the road. Popular destinations include splash days at Dollywood's Splash Country, nature hikes in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, science outings to Oak Ridge, and team-building trips to Navitat Knoxville's zipline park.
With a private bus, the journey becomes part of the experience. Lead singalongs from the front row, show movies on the video screens, or simply enjoy the scenery as someone else handles the driving. It's a mobile extension of your camp community.
Transportation for Staff Training and Pre-season Setup
Camps don't run without staff—and getting them to pre-season training is just as important as moving campers. Knoxville Shuttle Bus Rentals provides transportation for counselor orientations, kitchen crew arrivals, and maintenance teams setting up facilities before opening day. Coordinate arrivals from local colleges like the University of Tennessee or regional hubs across the Southeast.
Once the season begins, use our services to shuttle staff on days off, run supply trips into town, or host mid-session retreats focused on team development. A well-rested, well-connected staff makes for a better camp experience all around.
