Warin, I agree with you in theory. I almost never camp at a site
without a toilet because such camp sites are sometimes in a
disgusting state. However, when mapping, we should not apply our
particular moral beliefs, fact is lots of people do stay at such
sites. If its legal and practical to do so, we should so map. We
should not be trying to enforce our beliefs via OSM. <br>
<br>
Again, I will remind you that the distinction between tents, camper
trailers, campers, caravans, mobile homes is one of degree. Pick any
two spots on that spectrum and I will show you a rig that can fit
between them. <br>
<br>
(Sorry I have been out of this discussion for some time, we are away
camping, down the deep southwest of Tasmania there is very little
communications ....)<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">The essential difference between
these 'camping' activities is the provision of a self contained
toilet. (A shower is then secondary.) <br>
<br>
Where there is no self contained toilet the occupants then seek
local relief and that can lead to problems. So that is a mapping
issue for me. <br>
One of the reasons why I prefer not to be directed to a 'rest
area' for a tent site, those without a toilet tend not to
appeal. <br>
<br>
----------------------------------------<br>
Some of the camper trailers are very well equipped .. they would
need to be from the prices they charge. <br>
I'd tend to lump them with caravans - they tow behind the
vehicle. Much like lumping campervans with motorhomes?<br>

<div>For clarification for those who may not be into camping,
a camper trailer is effectively a tent mounted on top of a
normal box trailer, that then folds out for use.</div>

<div>Under that list, would they be a tent or a caravan? For a
short stop they don't usually need to be pegged down as a
tent has to be, but they're also not just a pull up, open
the door & that's it caravan?</div>

I hesitate to add campervan to that list but I suppose
it should be added too..<br>
I can see them asking what the difference is to
motorhome (what they are built from (bus/truck for
motorhome, van for campervan) size and toilet/shower are
ones I would nominate).

We'll get there. Crossed posts. No rush.<br>

highway=rest_area<br>
rest_area:camping=caravan ?<br>

My previous post had :conditional ... and that is
wrong.<br>
I don't know about applying camp_site tags to rest
areas, maybe. Will think on it.<br>

<br>
Just what will that mean then ? That a
caravan can pull into the rest area ? We will
loose the information that camping is, at
least primafacie allowed/practical ?<br>
<br>
I don't think thats a good solution, if you
then apply it to other states, a disaster (NSW
notoriously anti "free camping").<br>
