It has been brought to my attention that our method of tagging campgrounds runs afoul of OSM best practices:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/17949565 Which begs the question: what is the best way to tag a campground that serves multiple groups? Most NPS Front Country campgrounds, and Forest Service as well, provide for "car-camping" as well as RV Sites. Some also include group sites (10 or more people not in an RV). We have been tagging them as such: tourism <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:tourism?uselang=en> = camp_site;caravan_site Options include tourism <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:tourism?uselang=en> = camp_site comments = also_caravan_site but this will result in a very vocal and vigorous response from the RV crowd as to why we're not using: tourism <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:tourism?uselang=en> = caravan_site comments = also_camp_site Another option is to use two nodes, very near each other, one for each camping "activity". Most campgrounds are divided into tent sites and RV sites, but in MHO this is not the best way to tag these..? If the intended end result is for consumers of OSM data to be able to "locate" a campground that best serves their needs (I'm sleeping in the backseat of my car or a RV or in a horse trailer), what is the best scenario here, when applied to 350+ NPS parks (We want a consistent tagging)? Just to complicate this, some Front Country campgrounds can also accommodate horses, as well. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Semicolon#When_NOT_to_use_a_semi-colon_va lue_separator suggest that most consumers of OSM data can't parse the semi-colon, which I have a hard time believing: any decent renderer using OSM data can use "like" statements.
