At Wilderness Rider Buffalo Ranch outside Kingston, an annual family pass opens a ledger of off-road days: access to Side‑x‑Sides, Jeeps, ATVs and 4‑wheelers, plus allocated nights under the stars. The membership is designed to let families ride the ranch’s trail network throughout the operating year while balancing safety, stewardship and occasional closures for special events.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE FLEET

Four‑wheeled access included

The annual family pass covers access to a variety of 4x4 off‑road vehicles—Side x Sides, Jeeps, ATVs and 4‑wheelers—so your group can choose the rig that fits the ride.

THE CAMPING

Up to 18 days of free camping

Membership includes up to 18 days of free camping that may be taken consecutively or split across visits, giving families flexibility to pair trail days with overnight stays.

THE FAMILY PLAN

Designed for nuclear families

Passes are sold as individual or family memberships; family members are limited to spouses and children/legal dependents age 17 and younger, and the ranch reserves the right to amend membership rules as needed.

What the day feels like

What the Year‑Round Pass Feels Like

Buying the annual pass feels like opening a season‑long permission slip: you receive year‑round access on normal operating days to the ranch’s trail network, riding from 8:00 a.m. until one hour before dusk and pairing daytime runs with your allotted camping nights when you want to stay overnight.

Suitability

Who it's for

Who this annual pass suits—and who it excludes.

1
Active Nuclear FamiliesBest fit: spouses and children/legal dependents age 17 and younger can be covered under a single annual family membership, making repeated trail-and‑camp weekends straightforward.
2
Solo Riders or IndividualsAlso appropriate: memberships are offered to individuals as well as families, allowing single riders to purchase annual access.
3
Multi‑generational GroupsNot ideal: grandparents and extended relatives are not considered family members for the pass, so large multi‑generational parties will need separate arrangements.
4
Guests Bringing Non‑family FriendsLimited fit: the membership definition excludes non‑family visitors (aunts, uncles, cousins, significant others, etc.), and breaches of rules by guests can lead to expulsion and loss of privileges.
