Just because something doesn't render well doesn't mean it is improperly 
tagged. There are at least two reasons why that can be the case. 1) The 
renderers don't necessarily render everything you think they should, 
either by design choice or because they haven't caught up with all the 
tags, 2) the tiles in the area you are tagging haven't been updated to 
show your tags.

I notice that at the boundary between the two areas, you don't have the 
fence tagged. If you really want to enclose the camping area, you need to 
do that. Also, I would use the same nodes to define the boundary between 
the two areas, with overlapping ways, since there really isn't a "no man's 
land" between them. When you add the remaining fence section, you may want 
to add some gates.
