<p>Hi Graeme</p>
<p>Admitting ashamedly that I like nothing better than my OSM mkgmap
Garmin GPS device come up with any overnight viable stopping place
nearby.. This of course makes me biased, so I apologise for
that... <br>

<p>To me, that suggests that camp-site should be taken
to be tents only, & if you've got wheels of any
sort between you & the ground, so car / camper
trailer / caravan / motorhome etc, it should be a
caravan-site?</p>

<p>I find it quite frustrating to see a caravan_site and camp_site
come up for the same entity. I get the impression that
caravan_site is in fact a subset of camp_site and that table list
tags under it (camp_site) would cover any caravan use. One major
difference is that the wiki also lists toilets/showers as keys
rather than just relying in amenity, whereas caravan_site doesn't.
Perhaps it is inferred?</p>
<p>I tend to add individual amenity:toilet, amenity:shower etc as
many camping areas make these facilities available for non
campers, sometimes with a fee. It is not so common with more
commercial caravan parks, some even refuse to sell a (paid) shower
from the insurance liability standpoint. The same kind of
variation happens with coin-op laundries at caravan parks. </p>
<p>I'd actually like to see the use of caravan_site discouraged but
that's probably more my bias peeking through.. Would some fast
query coder please get me the number of au camp_site and
caravan_site objects please. <br>
