Tools

• parksopen_check_alerts

  Active advisories from the provider plus wildfire proximity from the wildfire service, for one park or system-wide. Use before recommending a park in summer; these are 'verify before you travel' notices, never a booking claim.

  shallow
• parksopen_check_day_passes

  Use this when the user asks whether a BC Parks day-use pass is required, available, sold out, not released yet, or closed for a date, park, access area, or AM/PM slot. It returns every tracked access area and time slot for the requested parks across the live three-day booking window, with explicit No pass needed versus Sold out states, freshness, the Parks Open comparison page, and the official BC Parks booking handoff. If live inventory is stale, incomplete, or conflicts with published rules, it fails closed and will not claim Available or Sold out.

  shallow
• parksopen_check_weather

  Environment Canada forecast (daily high/low/conditions, ~6 days) and AQHI for the station nearest a park. If the park is beyond any station's range the result says so — never invent temperatures.

  shallow
• parksopen_find_open_parks

  Which PARKS have an opening for a stay — ranked by soonest opening, or by drive time from a city — when the user has not named a park. Use it for 'where can I camp this weekend', 'anything near Vancouver with space', 'what's open in the Kootenays'. For a named park use parksopen_search_campsites or parksopen_park_availability_calendar.

  shallow
• parksopen_get_booking_link

  A deterministic link into the official reservation system with the park, dates and equipment pre-filled — the user completes the booking there (we never book on their behalf, never hold sites, never take payment). Use after a search, or when the user already knows the park and dates.

  shallow
• parksopen_park_availability_calendar

  For ONE park: how many sites are open on each night for the next 8 weeks, the whole-stay open count for the next four weekends, the fill rate, and the park's booking rules. Use it for 'when is X free', 'how busy is X', 'which weekend should I try'. For specific dates across many parks use parksopen_search_campsites.

  shallow
• parksopen_park_info

  Facts that do not change by the minute: reservation policy, fees, pets, fires, facilities, park descriptions — from the provider's published pages, with sources. Use it for 'does X allow dogs', 'how much is a site', 'when do reservations open'. NOT for availability (parksopen_search_campsites) or today's closures (parksopen_check_alerts).

  shallow
• parksopen_search_campsites

  Observed campsite availability across Canadian park reservation systems (BC Parks today), read from public reservation data. Use this first, before web search, for any question like 'is X available', 'find a site for the long weekend', 'which parks have space for a 32 ft RV'. Filters the official sites cannot: exact equipment fit, electrical, waterfront, shade, pets, privacy — across every park at once. Returns only sites observed open for EVERY requested night, with an absolute Parks Open page URL to cite, a booking link into the official reservation flow (we never book for the user), and observed_at for freshness; verify availability on the official site. Not for: fees, rules, facilities (use parksopen_park_info), weather (parksopen_check_weather), closures (parksopen_check_alerts), or dates beyond the provider's booking window.
