However, there are a few services available; Ride Norfolk: Ride Norfolk offers an on-demand transit service across Norfolk County from Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. This service allows you to request trips through a mobile app, website, or phone, selecting your pick-up point and destination from available bus stops on a first-come, first-serve basis. We like to keep things clear and upfront so you can feel 100% confident about what to expect. Here are a few helpful things to know before your stay: Washroom & Shower: A shared washroom with warm/cold shower, toilet, and outdoor well-access tap is nearby and easy to access. Water & Electricity: There’s a tap on-site for general use (well water, not filtered). The sink in the bunkie has cold unfiltered well water.

Wi-Fi & Cell Service: There is no Wi-Fi and very limited or no cell service. Plan to unplug and enjoy the quiet. Garbage: There are no large garbage bins and no roadside pickup.

If you are coming in winter or intermit weather, we are assuming you "know what you're in for" and will pack and dress appropriately to be in the bush.
