I understand the risk of confusion, but:
A - if there is any "informal" kind of tag there would be people who tag
particularly good sites to pitch a tent in national parks or whatnot with them,
and though I can only think of a couple myself I'd consider good enough to map,
people will want to share this as soon as they see "informal" is available,
so...
B - I don't want informal - either turnout car-camping, hotel adjacent
camping, nor random trekking camp clearings confused in any way with proper,
designated, car-camping /tent camping / caravan facilities - and giving people
a couple extra tag values is going the reduce confusion so the actual
maintained camp sites are labeled and marked correctly by taggers. I thought
about the few car camping ("auto camp") / tent camping sites I'd seen in Japan
recently and thought about how I would tag those, and the thoughts about tent
platforms came to mind, for example, same with tagging their immaculate
kitchens and amenities in another thread.
I'm not a big camper anymore, nor campsite tagger, but I have been on hundreds
of camping trips, covering every facility mentioned several times over (save
RV/caravan sites) and there seems to be big distinctions between all the kinds
I mentioned - and being able to convey those in tags seems relevant - though
maybe my input is not as important because I'm not so interested in tagging
those kind of sites.
I hope my input was helpful, I will be voting yes on whatever is decided.
