I've been going camping for over 40 years now (!) & I've *never* heard the term camp-pitch, before it's come up in this discussion. Yes, you "pitch camp" or "pitch a tent", but you do it on a camp site in a camping (or camp) ground, not on a camp pitch. Marked & allocated spots in a caravan park, or camp/ing ground are "sites" eg we are booked into Site 86 in Whichever Caravan Park this weekend. Personally, I'd prefer to get rid of the camp_pitch idea altogether & just use our established tags tourism=camp_site (or =caravan_site) + name=, address= etc with "all of park" details toilets=yes/no/fee shower=yes/no/fee - maybe hot/cold? then for each site ref=# / SIte # usage=caravan/camper_trailer/tent/walk_in (some sites are reserved for large motorhomes, some are tent only etc) vehicle_access=yes/no (can you actually drive onto the site - some you have to park in the car park & carry your tent & all your gear to the actual site) fire=yes/no/ring/off_ground power=yes/no water=yes/no sullage=yes/no surface=grass/sand/gravel/concrete slab=yes/no etc Thanks Graeme
