You will unlock its largest part after advancing to chapter 2 of the campaign, but you still won't be able to explore Blackwater and New Austin, where the character would be attacked immediately. You will have access to these locations only towards the end of the game.
Frequent manual saves are advised. This can save you from many potentially troublesome situations, e.g. accidentally triggering a chase from the authorities, losing your horse or selecting the wrong option during important choices.
Return to the gang's camp regularly. It offers many activities, including e.g. interactions with other gang members or new mission opportunities. It's also worth spending your money on expanding the camp to unlock its new upgrades (e.g. the fast travel option).
