Outpost
Outpost
Ultimate Hammock Basecamp
Elevate your camping experience off the ground in any setting, no trees required. On a single vehicle, mount multiple Outpost hammock stands to accommodate a group of campers for a more restful night at camp.
Compact for Car Camping
Lighter than a roof top tent and more space efficient, the Outpost hammock stand offers maximum comfort at camp without sacrificing gas mileage and valuable roof top cargo space.
Flexible Mounting
Mount the Outpost wherever convenient on your vehicle with the included stock mount kit— compatible with most cross bars, basket racks, and platform-style racks. Read more about mounting compatibility here.
Tool-Free Setup
The quick-release ball hitch mount, three-piece crossbar, and telescoping legs make it easy to deploy and collapse the Outpost portable hammock stand in less than a minute—no tools required.
All-terrain Capable
The telescoping legs and rotating ball hitch allow you to adjust your hammock placement to any terrain, and the stake-able feet provide security for your stand when your hammock is not in use.
Compatible with Any Hammock
Over 12 feet long, the Outpost hammock stand is ideal for taller campers to lay flat in a hammock. Outpost is also compatible with our full line of hammocks, including Mantis, Sunda, our Roo line, and most hammocks you already own.
Intuitive Tarp Ridgeline
Stay sheltered from wind and rain by hanging any tarp from the horizontal crossbar. The crossbar is designed to be a robust tarp ridgeline, complete with tarp line guides for added security, and is compatible with our Mantis and Kuhli tarps.
Adventure-Grade Durability
Lightweight yet robust with an all-weather powder coating and backed by our Adventure-Grade guarantee. Go anywhere with your Outpost vehicle-mounted hammock stand and leave the worries at home.
Grab and Go Travel Bag
The Outpost is a portable hammock stand that packs down to the size of a collapsible camp chair and easily fits in the trunk of a small SUV.

Overview
The Outpost is a vehicle-mounted hammock stand that hangs a hammock anywhere trees won't cooperate. It anchors to your rack with a quick-release ball hitch and deploys in under a minute with no tools.
Key features
- 350 lb capacity — one sleeper or two loungers, on a 144.5 inch ridge that lays tall campers flat.
- 22 lb aluminum frame — powder-coated and anodized aluminum with UV-resistant reinforced nylon, packs to 52 in × 6.5 in × 6 in.
- Tool-free, 60-second setup — quick-release ball hitch, three-piece crossbar, telescoping legs.
- All-terrain footing — telescoping legs and stake-able feet level on sand, rock, or gravel and hold the stand steady when unloaded.
- Tarp-ready crossbar — built-in tarp line guides turn the ridge into a shelter for shade or rain.
Use cases
Built for car and overland camping where there are no trees — beaches, deserts, slickrock, and gravel pads. It saves the roof space and gas-mileage penalty of a roof-top tent, packs down to chair size, and lets you stack a second stand on one vehicle for a two-hammock group camp.

Does a hammock come with the Outpost?
No. You get the stand, two hammock hanging straps, and the stock mounting kit. The hammock is sold separately. It works with Kammok Mantis, Sunda, and Roo hammocks, plus most 9-to-11-foot hammocks you already own.
Will it fit my vehicle's rack?
The stock mounting kit fits most cross bars, basket racks, and platform-style t-slot racks. Rack designs vary, so confirm your specific rack against Kammok's mounting compatibility guide before you buy.
Can I use it freestanding without a vehicle?
No. The Outpost is built to mount to your vehicle — the stand-end anchors to a quick-release ball hitch in your rack, and that's what carries the load. The telescoping legs and stake-able feet level the free end on uneven ground and hold it steady when the hammock is off, but it is not a tree-free standalone ground stand.
How much weight does it hold?
The Outpost is rated to 350 lb. That's one person sleeping or two people lounging on the 144.5 inch ridge.
Will the frame hold up to weather and repeated use?
Yes. The frame is powder-coated and anodized aluminum with UV-resistant reinforced nylon and steel hardware, made to live outside on a rack. Wipe it down and let it dry before packing to keep the finish in good shape.
