Before I update the proposal let me try to summarize where we stand: 1. There are three main categories of camp_sites: designated campsites, non-designated campsites and wild camps. Non-designated campsites are important for countries without a camping culture such as Ethiopia; 2. All

In Africa they are non-designated. We have had situations in Ethiopia and Tanzania that the campsite was invented on the spot. The picture in the proposal gives a feeling what I am talking about. The site is the parking or the courtyard, no designated space. On the other hand lists are circulating

Dave, I think we are after different things. Your proposal focuses on availability of services, while mine tells more about the relation between the camper and the land owner: - Designated: permission to camp, most likely the place is still there tomorrow, service offering (whatever it is)

Sorry Jan, cannot find the proposal page quickly. But I think we may be arguing about the meaning of designated ? If a commercial operation 'allows' its park or courtyard to be used this way, then I'd suggest they are, to some degree 'designating' it. Just by not moving people on. In the same

I think the table is basically correct. I added showers, amended the pitches and added access hours. In Europe it is very common that no pitches are defined. Staffing=yes means that during at least defined period of the day (say 7:00-10:00 and 16:00-20:00). Usually you are not able to register
