If osm-carto renders one, but not the other, that will skew the tagging.



For USA park camgrounds often there IS a verifiable street address, but
it's miles away from the actual campground.
Even so: if you tell a router you want to go to "Foo Campground", and
that's mapped as an area, the router really has all
the information it needs to process addr:unit.

I see pitch numbers as a good osm-carto feature, as they occur in areas of
the map that are uncluttered or even blank.  As such
they don't have the downsides of rendering things like bicycle tool stands
or dog waste bins, which receive objections based on clutter.



Keep in mind that some piches are named, just as some apartment complexes
or rooms are named.  And a pitch could have both a name an  a ref.

add:unit=Willow Camp
camp_site=Willow Camp
name=Willow Camp
pitch:name=Willow Camp
ref=AZ2

add:unit=2
ref=2
camp_site=2
name=2
pitch:name=2


Or with a more proper namespace:

Or

*     camp_site=camp_pitch*
*     camp_pitch:drinking_water=no*
*     camp_pitch:picnic_table=yes*
*     name=2*
*     addr:unit=2*
