Status: de facto

The tag tourism=camp_site is used to map a campsite (UK) or campground (North American): an area, usually divided into a number of pitches, where people can camp overnight using tents, camper vans or caravans (aka RVs or motorhomes).

(In American English, the term campsite is generally synonymous with the UK English term camp pitch: tourism=camp_pitch).

A tourism=camp_site may be:

  • A developed area with amenities such as electricity, drinking water, toilets, beaches for swimming, etc.
  • A backcountry area with few to no facilities, often accessible only by off-road vehicle or on foot.

Tagging

A tourism=camp_site can be tagged as either a node or an area , but ideally as an area if the perimeter is known.

The table lists tags which can be added to the campsite. Ideally amenities (showers, drinking water, etc.) are mapped at their physical locations but otherwise add them to this object so at least people know it exists somewhere around the site.
