Some travellers plan months ahead. CamperMate's users mostly don't — they are already on the road in Australia or New Zealand, checking their phone at a rest stop to see what's nearby. For tour and activity operators, that is a special kind of customer: high intent, close by, and deciding right now. TicketingHub's channel manager connects your live availability to that moment, so a camper who finds you in the app books a real seat — and your dashboard knows about it instantly.
What is CamperMate?
CamperMate is a travel app for exploring Australia and New Zealand, built around the practical needs of campers, road trippers, and explorers. It maps what's nearby — campgrounds, facilities, points of interest, and things to do — and draws on a community of over 150 travelling contributors who feed in hidden gems and outdoor adventures. The app grew out of the Outdoria group, born when the founders behind Outdoria, Campell, and GoSeeAustralia realised travellers would be far better served if their camping knowledge lived in one place.
The result is an app that trip-planners keep open for the whole journey. It is not a brochure travellers browse once at home; it is the tool they consult daily, in-destination, at exactly the point where a spare afternoon turns into a booked activity.
How the integration works
TicketingHub acts as your channel manager: it shares your live availability with CamperMate and delivers every booking made there into the same dashboard and manifest as your direct sales. There is no second calendar to reconcile and no export-import routine — a CamperMate booking is simply another booking.
- Indirect revenue: your listing works around the clock in an app road-trippers already trust.
- Live inventory: the app sells from your true remaining capacity, so last-minute sales are safe.
- One manifest: online, in-person, and third-party bookings sync into one centralized dashboard.
- Channel-tagged reporting: see exactly what CamperMate contributes next to every other channel.
The connection carries a simple per-booking integration fee on the TicketingHub side; your commercial arrangement with the marketplace itself is agreed directly with them.
Operator scenarios
Adventure operators on the road-trip routes
Skydives, jet boats, glow-worm caves, horse treks — if your product sits on a classic Australian or New Zealand road-trip route, CamperMate users are literally driving past you. A live-availability listing converts that passing traffic into seats, even for departures leaving the same day.
Campground operators with bookable extras
Parks that hire kayaks, run guided walks, or ticket their facilities can put those extras in front of campers before check-in. Because everything draws on one availability pool, the front desk and the app can never sell the same slot twice.
Regional attractions outside the big cities
Attractions in smaller towns often struggle for visibility on global OTAs. CamperMate's map-first, in-destination discovery flips that: proximity is the ranking. If you are the best thing to do within fifty kilometres, the app makes sure travellers know it.
Setting up the connection
In TicketingHub, distribution channels follow a standard pattern: add a wholesale rate to the products you want listed, create a reseller record for the channel, then create a channel with the permitted products and share its credentials. To enable CamperMate, contact your TicketingHub account manager or support, who will confirm the current steps on the CamperMate side.
Verify the connection before relying on it: make a test booking in the app as far as the guest-details step, then check TicketingHub's Orders screen for a pending booking tagged with the reseller name. If it shows, the pipes are connected.
