Find nearest public toilets

Find the nearest PUBLIC TOILETS to a location (from the National Public Toilet Map). Use this for questions like 'where's the closest toilet to me', 'nearest public toilet', 'is there an RV dump point near here', or 'closest accessible toilet'. Returns toilets sorted by distance with name, address, distance, opening hours, facilities (wheelchair access, baby change, RV dump point, showers, drinking water, etc.) and a directions link. Provide the user's latitude/longitude. If the user says 'near

Search campsites

Search for campsites, caravan parks, or accommodation by location, features, and other criteria. Use this when the user asks to find a place to stay, camp, or explore. Returns a list of matching entities with names, locations, ratings, features, and images. COVERAGE: Australia (default), the United States (federal, BLM, national-forest campgrounds + free camping), Canada, New Zealand, Argentina AND Chile (campgrounds + free camping). Set the 'country' parameter to 'US' for United States, 'CA' f

Campsite details

Get full details for a specific campsite or accommodation by its ID. Returns description, all features/amenities, address, photos, rating, accommodation types offered, and booking information.

List camping regions

List available camping/accommodation regions, optionally filtered by state. Returns region names with entity counts. Use this when the user wants to browse by area or doesn't have a specific location.

List campsite features

Get the full list of available features/amenities that campsites can have. Use this to help users understand what filters are available or to clarify what a feature means.

List accommodation types

List all accommodation types offered by a specific entity (e.g. powered sites, unpowered sites, cabins, hotel rooms). Returns pricing, capacity, amenities, and vehicle access info.

Search camping gear store

Search for camping gear, outdoor products, and accessories available in the Camping Australia store. Use this when a user asks about gear, equipment, products, or what to buy/bring.

Recommend camping gear

Recommend relevant products and gear for a specific campsite based on its features and type. For example, a campsite with fishing will return fishing gear; a 4WD-access campsite will return recovery equipment. Use this when a user asks what to bring or buy for a particular campsite.

Weather forecast

Get a 14-day weather forecast for a campsite or location. Use this when the user asks about weather, temperature, rain, wind, or UV conditions at a campsite or destination. You can provide EITHER: - campsite_name: The name (or partial name) of a campsite to look up its GPS coordinates automatically, OR - latitude + longitude: Direct coordinates if already known Returns daily forecasts with max/min temperature, rain chance, precipitation amount, wind speed, UV index, and a weather description

Search bookable caravan parks

Find LIVE-BOOKABLE accommodation operators near a location via the Bookeasy booking platform (real-time inventory). Use this when the user wants to actually BOOK and needs live availability/pricing — this is DIFFERENT from search_campsites (our own directory). Returns operator_id values that the other bk_ tools need. Prefer this when the user says things like 'book', 'reserve', 'is it available', or asks for real prices for specific dates.

Live park availability and prices

Get LIVE products, pricing and availability for a Bookeasy operator for specific dates. Returns bookable products each with a product_id, price, max_guests and an available flag. Call this (using an operator_id from bk_search_operators) before bk_cart_add.

Add a stay to the booking cart

Add a product to the Bookeasy booking cart, OR answer a booking question. This is SERVER-DRIVEN and stateful: - First add: omit session_key to start a new cart; pass operator_id, product_id, check_in, check_out, adults/children, and quoted_price (the price from bk_operator_availability). - The response status is 'added' (item is in the cart) OR 'question_pending' — in which case it returns ONE question and a pending_token. Ask the user EXACTLY that one question, then call bk_cart_add again with

Complete booking checkout

Finalise the Bookeasy cart and get the SINGLE checkout URL the user uses to complete payment. TWO-STEP, human-in-the-loop: 1. Call WITHOUT confirm — this returns the booking summary + total price and NO payment link. Show the traveller the full summary (property, dates, guests, total) and ask them to confirm. 2. Only after they EXPLICITLY agree, call again with confirm=true to get the secure payment link. Never set confirm=true yourself without the traveller's clear yes. Payment happens on Booke

Set booking guest details

Attach the lead guest's contact details to the Bookeasy cart. Bookeasy requires a name and email to issue a booking. For a signed-in customer, any of first_name / surname / email you omit are prefilled from their account — so you can call this with just the session_key and confirm the prefilled details with them, or pass explicit values to override. Call once the cart has items and before bk_cart_checkout.

Apply a promo code

Apply (or remove) a promo / discount code on the Bookeasy cart. Use when the user gives a promo code; call before bk_cart_checkout so the discounted total shows. Set remove=true to take a code off.

Caravan park booking info

Search curated tourism content (attractions, things to do, local experiences, events) via Bookeasy. Use this for 'what's on / things to do near X' style questions — this is content we do NOT have in our own directory. NOT for campsite/accommodation booking (use the other bk_ tools for that).

Search campervan hire

Search live campervan / motorhome hire availability and pricing for a pickup city and travel dates (via DriveAway). Use this when the user wants to RENT a campervan, motorhome or RV (NOT the same as search_campsites, which finds places to camp). Returns matching vehicles with brand, name, category, sleeps/seats, 4WD, nightly and total AUD price, and a booking_url deep-link to complete the hire. Australia only. Each result already includes full vehicle details (so there is no separate 'resolve' s

Campervan booking link

Get the DriveAway booking deep-link to complete a campervan / motorhome hire for a pickup city and dates. The user finishes the booking on DriveAway's site (we don't take payment). Use this to hand the user a 'book now' link once they've chosen dates — no search needed. Returns a single booking_url. Australia only.
