To hide a new geocache in your area...

Please make sure to obtain permission from the landowner or land manager prior to placing your geocache.

Reporting a new cache is easy. Just fill out our online form to report a new cache to the web site. Login is required. Since each cache is approved by volunteers, expect to see your cache approved within 24-48 hours.

If you have difficulties posting your report to the web site email us at report@geocaching.com.

READ FIRST: This is a free service. Only caches of a non-commercial nature can be posted through this site. If you wish to create a commercial cache or promotion, please contact us first. Caches perceived of a commercial nature will not be approved.
