MCP Server for Campertunity – a Model Context Protocol server exposing tools for campground search, details, availability and booking via the Campertunity API.
https://github.com/campertunity/mcp-serverStop building yet another basic search integration. Your AI assistant can now help users discover, evaluate, and book campsites through natural conversation – without you writing a single line of camping domain logic.
Building campground search into AI applications means dealing with:
Most developers end up with brittle keyword matching or abandon the feature entirely.
This MCP server transforms your AI into a knowledgeable camping concierge:
place-search: Your AI can now handle requests like "Find me RV sites near Yellowstone with full hookups and pet-friendly policies for next weekend." The natural language campgroundDescription parameter means users don't need to learn camping taxonomy – they just describe what they want.
place-details: Get comprehensive campground information including amenities, activities, terrain, and user reviews. Perfect for AI-powered recommendations and comparisons.
place-availability: Real-time availability checking for specific date ranges. Your assistant can instantly tell users "Site 12 is available July 15-20, but Site 8 has better lake views and is also open."
place-book: Complete the loop with actual bookings. Users can go from "I need a campsite" to "You're all set, confirmation #ABC123" in a single conversation.
The sophisticated tag system covers everything camping:
Your AI can process complex requests like "Find secluded tent sites near water with hiking trails, but I need cell service and bathrooms" and return exactly what users want.
Natural Conversation Flow:
User: "I want to go camping near a lake in Colorado next month"
AI: [uses place-search with terrain=lake, geographic bounds for Colorado]
AI: "I found 12 lakeside campgrounds. Chatfield State Park has RV sites right on the reservoir, while Kelly Dahl offers more secluded tent camping. What's your setup?"
User: "Tent camping, and I want to kayak"
AI: [filters results for tent sites + paddling activities]
AI: "Perfect! Kelly Dahl has tent sites 15-20 with direct lake access and a boat launch. Site 18 is available June 15-17. Should I book it?"
Trip Planning Assistant: Your AI can now help users plan entire camping trips by checking availability across multiple parks, comparing amenities, and booking the best matches – all while maintaining conversation context about preferences and constraints.

Outdoor recreation is booming, but discovery remains broken. Users bounce between multiple apps, struggle with complex filters, and often settle for suboptimal campsites. Conversational AI can finally make camping accessible – but only if it has real camping intelligence.
This MCP server doesn't just add camping search to your AI. It adds camping expertise. Your assistant becomes the knowledgeable friend who knows that "quiet spot near water" probably means tent camping away from RV loops, and that "full hookups" matters for RV users but is meaningless for tent campers.
