<p>If they are permanent then they should be mapped. Can be usefull
navigational points on a map. <br>

<div>I know that in remote areas, they're often used as
impromptu camping grounds, being somewhere that you can pull
up, usually out of view of the road, & stop for the
night.</div>

<p>In remote areas anything can be used as a camp site ... those
cuts off to the side for water to goto, a creek line... I would
not map them for camping reasons. <br>

<div>Kevin - I've never heard of them referred to as gravel
stacks, only ever pits? Maybe a State thing?<br>
</div>
</div>

<br>
<p>Or maybe just using the common term incorrectly - a pit is
usually below ground, but it is the term 'we' usually use. <br>
</p>
<p>Gravel stack is certainly more descriptive of what can found. <br>
</p>
<p>However in remote areas they can and do use what is available
locally - so these are pits - where stuff is dug out for local
use. <br>

A gravel pit is indeed a quarry -- but that's something
else.
