Who this is for

You have the idea. You are looking for the right people.

A crew request is not a commercial tour or a promise that every detail is final. It is a clear starting point for finding compatible campers, drivers or route-planning partners before a trip takes shape.

An early idea is still welcome.

Dates can be flexible and the route can still be under research. State what is confirmed, what is tentative and what kind of help or company you are looking for.

🚙
Trip partner request

Find one or more compatible travelers for a defined destination, route or weekend plan.

Campout interest check

See whether nearby members are interested before turning an idea into a larger meetup.

🗺️
Route planning partner

Connect with someone who wants to research access, road conditions and alternate plans together.

How it works

A simple path from idea to connection.

01
Submit the basics

Share the destination, date range, trip style, vehicle expectations and preferred group size.

02
CIWILD reviews it

We check that the request is understandable, non-commercial and suitable for public posting.

03
The request is shared

Approved details may appear on Find a Crew or be shared with relevant community members.

04
You decide privately

Interested people connect through the designated process and independently decide whether the match fits.

Before you submit

Bring enough detail for someone to understand the trip.

The request does not need to be perfect. Clear, honest information is more useful than making the route sound more certain or difficult than it really is.

General destination and date range
Use the public region or route area. Do not submit a private home address or an exact remote meetup point.
Trip style and expected pace
Explain whether it is a relaxed campout, scenic road trip, technical route or mixed itinerary.
Vehicle and equipment expectations
State whether 2WD, AWD, 4WD, clearance or recovery equipment may be relevant.
Experience level and group size
Say whether beginners are welcome and how many people or vehicles you hope to meet.
Known costs or shared expenses
Disclose expected permits, campsite fees or shared expenses. Hidden charges are not permitted.
What is confirmed and what is flexible
Make tentative dates, incomplete route research and unresolved details easy to understand.

After submission

What happens next?

CIWILD reviews early crew requests manually. The next step depends on how complete, relevant and suitable the submission is for the current community.

Possible outcome 01
Ready for review

The request has enough information for CIWILD to evaluate whether it can be shared.

Possible outcome 02
Clarification needed

CIWILD may ask for clearer dates, route expectations, costs or vehicle requirements.

Possible outcome 03
Not suitable for posting

Commercial promotions, unsafe requests, misleading claims or submissions outside the current scope may be declined.

⚠️
Connect carefully and make your own participation decision.

CIWILD provides information and connection tools. Review of a submission is not an endorsement, background check, guide service, route verification, safety guarantee or confirmation that a trip is suitable for any particular person or vehicle. Participants remain responsible for independently checking identities, route access, closures, weather, fire restrictions, permits, equipment, insurance choices and personal readiness.
