amenity=waste_disposal   does not need to be associated with campsite, 
it can be .. but can stand alone.

The 'amenity=waste_disposal does not look to have been through an 
aproval process ... nor does any tag. The 'approval process' is 
voluntary .. I like to use it as it gets more views other than mine and 
hopefully gets a better concesus and results in a better tag.

According to tag info the following tags are in use for waste=

None of them are documented - therefore they are not defined within OSM.
Any other tag is unused and could be changed if you think that would of 
benefit.

So you/'we'/OSM are not stuck with waste=chemical_toilet .... at least 
at the moment.

Do note that waste= is used under amenity=waste_basket as well as 
amenity=waste_disposal.
