Getting to camp is eaaaassssyyyy, leaving is the hard part. ;)

Getting There

The great thing about taking the ferry to Langdale, is you only pay once! That’s right, there’s no charge for the return trip. We realize that the ferry is expensive, so in order to cut down your expenses, we have organized a shuttle service from the Langdale ferry terminal to Camp Byng for those who decide to walk-on (there is ample parking in Horseshoe Bay). Shuttle bus details are below.

Directions for walk-on

  • Get on Highway #1 Westbound, go all the way to Horseshoe Bay in West Vancouver down the hill and follow the signs to the passenger drop-off area.
  • Please note that recent highway construction in the area has radically changed the approach to Horseshoe bay for both ferry passengers and those going to the Village for drop-off. Be sure to pay attention and follow the signs or you may find yourself heading to Whistler!
  • If you’re not being dropped off, you can park your car at the BC Ferries terminal lot, or you can go outside of Horseshoe Bay and park at the Lions Club lot.
  • Get on the Langdale ferry, NOT Nanaimo or Bowen Island! It’s a 35 minute ride, so enjoy the sun.
  • Once at Langdale, walk to the passenger pick up area, and look for our greeter and big yellow Penske truck! If you’re wearing your uniform (as you should be!), it’ll be easy for us to identify you.

Directions are the same as for walk on to get to Horseshoe Bay except, drive on the ferry instead of walking, and once you drive off the ferry in Langdale:

  • Drive up the hill and at the top, take a left at Marine (it’s a T junction at the top of the hill).
  • At North Road take a right (just follow the traffic). Follow North Road ’till the Intersection at Coast Highway (101).
  • At Coast Highway (101), take a right. Continue ’till the split for Roberts Creek Low Road (aprox. 4km / 2.5mi).
  • At the split for the Low Road, take a left. (Immediately after the split, there is a cemetery on the right side of the road.)
  • Continue along the low road ’till you get to Camp Byng! (Distance from the ferry terminal to Byng is 10.7 km or 6.5mi.)
  • Hang a right and go up the hill to the fields – we are at the lower field.
  • Please obey the one-way rule, do not drive out the same way you came in!

Shuttle Bus

If you are planning on arriving earlier than our first shuttle, BC Transit operates a bus which meets every ferry. Just ask the driver if he goes past Camp Byng – the stop is right at the gate.

Each person wishing to use our shuttle service will be charged $2 to help cover our fuel costs (unless you preregister and have free-shuttle rides! See the Registration page for details). Please indicate on your registration form which ferry you anticipate being on, as well as the numbers in your group, so we may have enough transportation at the terminal. And yes, you only pay for one way, the return is free.
