I object to any mapping, let alone tagging, of “Wild Camp” sites. By mapping
these places they will become overused and therefore no longer “Wild”.
If it's in a country where Wild Camping is legal then the area will be abused
and damaged, if it's in a country where Wild Camping is illegal then it's
encouraging trespass.
First rule of Wild Camping is you don't talk about Wild Camping, well at least
don't publish it on the Internet!
If the only definition of such a camp site is that you can put a tent on it
then every few metres will get mapped.
You can't map the absence of something.
Stick to defining organised campsites, do not try to bring order to something
that by it's very nature is disk-organised.

Looking at the current definition of tourism=caravan_site it is very close to
what I had in mind with camp_site=designated.
So the updated proposal would become:
Designated - standard, designated (duplication of tourism=caravan_site),
trekking in the current proposal; to be refined with attribute tags
Non-designed - as proposed
New main tag tourism=wild_camp_site
