I think we can nibble away at this for 'some time' not achieving much by going round in circles too much. Can we look at the camp problem on a wiki page where we can all chip in - by listing every different kind of camp we can think of and categorising each whether leisure, commercial, individual, groups, activity-based - then see what categories we end up with and try to find category names that are the most suitable ? Hopefully by the end of it we'll develop good categories and descriptions for each type.
