If I would have to choose between the options I would go for full_service,
but I leave this to the native speakers. If I get the same service and pay
the same for a state run campground as for a privately run one it can be
called commercial.
Is it a problem if tourism=camp_site wouldn't get the attribute
camp_site=commercial in this case? It is the default and most common one
anyhow.
