Outrider Outposts · Coming soon

Somewhere to stop for the night.

Farms, wineries and ranches near good riding, where you can park a rig overnight. First night's free.

How it works Become an Outpost

The deal

First night's free. Give something back.

01

The first night's free

Always, everywhere. You're not renting a site — you're a guest.

02

You give something back

At a business, you buy something. Somewhere with nothing to sell, you pass through well and leave the ground as you found it.

03

The rest is between you two

One night, or longer while you keep buying, or paid extra nights. The host's call, sorted with them directly.

Use Outposts to find places near where you're headed, see what each one offers, and contact the host to get on their calendar. From there it's between the two of you — the way it would be if a friend put you up.

In the app

The terms, in the host's words.

Outposts show up along a route you've already planned, and every one of them says exactly what it asks for before anybody turns up. Nobody arrives having guessed wrong.

Outposts

Public land · nearest to Gardnerville first

⌕Search places, towns, forests

Including the ones we know almost nothing about.

Some places the agency described properly — corrals, water, what it costs. Others gave us a name and a map pin and nothing else.

Where we don't know, it says so. No filler, no guesses, and no “contact for details.” A blank is an honest answer, and it's an invitation: the first rider to go and write it up has done something nobody else has.

Every fact carries where it came from and when it was read. Nothing is marked confirmed unless a person actually went.

Try Little Grass Vly, or Whoop-Um-Up

Why it isn't just parking

Every Outpost is near riding.

You see what you could ride from a place — trails within a reasonable haul, what the parking's like, whether there's water. And whether anyone local is riding that week, so you can turn up somewhere new and ask to join them.

The places

An Outpost can be almost anything.

A flat spot big enough to turn a rig around and water your horse can reach. Some are businesses you'd want to visit anyway. Others are just good ground in the right place — a pasture standing empty over summer, twenty minutes from country you've meant to ride for years.

You bring your own containment, feed and water — most travellers already carry all of it. What the host provides is the ground, and somewhere good to be while you're there.

The people

Everyone here is somebody's guest.

Somebody is making room for you and your horses on their own place. That's a generous thing, and this community is full of people who understand it — which is what makes turning up somewhere new feel good rather than awkward.

→

You'll know who you're meeting

Both sides say how a stay went, so a host knows who's arriving and you know what to expect when you get there.

→

Hosts choose their guests

Every stay is approved by the person whose land it is. Nobody turns up unannounced.

→

Most of it is just good company

People end up talking over a fence, getting a tip about a trail, being told to come back next year.

Pack out your manure , buy something, close the gate. That's genuinely the whole code — and it's why hosts keep saying yes.

If you ride

Tell us where you ride and that's where the map gets built first. Founding riders keep Outposts at $49 a year for life — everyone after the first 250 pays $99.

If you have ground

All it is: somewhere for a rider to park their camper and trailer for the night. Listing costs nothing, you approve every stay, and the first hundred places are the whole map on day one.
