<div dir="ltr">I'm going to be camping in Oregon in a week. OSM didn't seem to include any campsites in that area so I downloaded positions from the USFS and a private operator and imported them using ogr2ogr, gpsbabel and josm.<br>
<br>The USFS data is public domain. I updated<br><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Potential_Datasources#US_Forest_Service" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Potential_Datasources#US_Forest_Service</a><br>

</blockquote></div><br>You need to be very careful about this to make sure the data you grabbed isn't tainted. The USFS public domain stuff should be okay, but if any of the actual campsite locations or data came from Google, then it should probably be removed, because OSM does not have permission to use information derived from Google maps. That's why OSM can't use <a href="http://geonames.org">geonames.org</a> data, either.<br>
