Garmin format is unsupported and I think hell will freeze over before
Garmin makes their GPSmap 60Cx opensource supported.
However, the more I play with this... I'm thinking of dropping the addr
tags all together. Provincial Park roads usually don't have names, so
the address tags are making less and less sense. The campsite numbers
might better be served as POIs. Routing still works if you select a
POI, on any system I know.
The only issue is the rendering. Some campgrounds pack in the sites so
you could have 800+ POI close together (in some areas)
New question: is there a way to specify it to render at only extreme
zoom? (ie I noticed the drinking water POI objects are like that)

This really sounds like a "mapping for the renderer" situation (in
this case the renderer would be Garmin). This is generally
discouraged. You have the address information (in the Karlsruhe
schema), but the Garmin converter doesn't support it, so you are
adding in extra tags to get better Garmin support. You should be
trying to get a really good map database that is agnostic to render
engines (be they Mapnik, osmarender, Garmin, or TomTom). It is up to
the render engine/converter to improve how it handles the (supposedly)
correct database.
Having said that, check out

My idea for adding campsite numbers hit a brick wall. Seems the
reverse engineering of Garmin doesn't support house numbers. So
I'm thinking of creating a dual purpose object:
addr:city=Rock Point Provincial Park
addr:housenumber=56
addr:street=Campsite Roads
name=Rock Point Campsite: 56 (still working on the name)
tourism=camp_site (reason is so it shows up on garmin devices
as Lodging)
(and possibly other tags still working this out.)
On JOSM it renders all the campsite numbers as tent objects. I
think this might be very distracting on a map. So I want to hide
them from site. But still be there for searching purposes.
