Why Choose Palm Desert Charter Bus for Camp Transportation in Palm Desert?
When you choose Palm Desert Charter Bus, you’re working with a company that puts your needs first. We operate 24/7/365 because we know camp schedules don’t always fit a 9-to-5 mold. Need to move 200 kids to Idyllwild at sunrise? Shuttle CITs from UCR housing to your downtown base? Run a midnight airport pickup from PSP or LAX? We’ve done it all—and we do it with modern vehicles, honest pricing, and real human support from start to finish.
Our fleet includes everything from 18-passenger minibuses to 56-seat motorcoaches, so you can get exactly the right vehicle for your group size and budget. We serve all of Greater Palm Springs—including Indio, La Quinta, Cathedral City, Rancho Mirage, Indian Wells, Desert Hot Springs, and Coachella Valley—and we’ll go anywhere your itinerary requires: mountain camps in Idyllwild and Big Bear, coastal sites in San Diego and Orange County, or out-of-state destinations across the Southwest.
Customizable Camp Bus Rentals Built Around Your Schedule
No two camps run on the same schedule—which is why we make it easy to build a transportation plan that fits yours. You set the pickup times, drop-off locations, and daily agenda; we provide the vehicles and drivers to match. Hosting a day camp at Civic Center Park or the Palm Desert Aquatic Center? Book a minibus loop from neighborhood pickup points. Running a residential session at Pathfinder Ranch or Camp Oakes? Charter a full-size coach for baggage-friendly transfers up Highway 74 or 38. Need something in between? We offer mid-size options too.
You’ll also love our onboard amenities: reclining seats for naptime, Wi-Fi and power outlets for device charging, PA systems for announcements, and (on larger models) full restrooms to cut down on emergency stops. It’s everything you need to keep kids comfortable and programs running on time.
Comfortable Amenities for Long-distance Camp Trips
Many summer camps are located far from urban centers, requiring hours of travel through the San Jacinto Mountains, along Highway 74, or across desert highways to Joshua Tree and Anza-Borrego. A school bus might get you there—but a charter bus makes the journey part of the experience. Our largest coaches come equipped with cushioned seats, individual reading lights, adjustable air conditioning, and onboard restrooms—plus optional upgrades like DVD players, flat-screen monitors, and USB charging ports. Campers can ride together as a single group, sing songs, watch movies, or simply relax while the scenery rolls by. It’s the perfect way to start and end a week in the wilderness.
Easy Airport Transfers for Out-of-state Campers
If your program serves families flying into Palm Springs International Airport (PSP) or even LAX, you know how challenging it can be to coordinate arrivals and departures. Let Palm Desert Charter Bus handle the logistics with a private shuttle timed to each flight. We’ll greet campers at the terminal curb, load their luggage into a spacious undercarriage bay, and deliver them directly to your camp gate—whether that’s an hour away in the San Bernardino Mountains or several hours to a destination like AstroCamp or Pali Institute. No missed connections, no lost backpacks, no waiting around for a seat on the next van. Just simple, streamlined service that gets everyone to camp on time.

With Palm Desert Charter Bus, you’ll never have to worry about how everyone will get from point A to point B—you’ll have a private charter bus rental ready to go whenever and wherever you need it!
Onboard Storage for Gear and Equipment
Camps don’t travel light. Between sleeping bags, duffel bags, sports equipment, musical instruments, and craft supplies, there’s a lot of stuff to haul up those switchbacks to places like Idyllwild and Big Bear. Fortunately, our buses are designed with storage in mind. Full-size coaches feature large exterior compartments capable of holding suitcases and bulky items, while smaller bags and valuables can be stowed in overhead racks inside the cabin. Traveling with canoes, coolers, or archery targets? Let us know in advance, and we’ll help you select a model with enough room for everything on your packing list.
