If you are doing detail mapping of a campground you should replace a tourism=camp_site node with a polygon. So you are mapping pitches within that campground polygon with either nodes or smaller polygons.

So a node with both tourism=camp_site and camp_pitch=yes would only make sense if there were one and only one place to pitch a tent (park a caravan) in the campground.

(I wish it was tourism=campground which would leave “site” or “camp_site” available for the individual pitches. To my American ears “pitch” is more likely a verb than a noun (“pitch a ball on a playing field” or “pitch a tent at a camp site” but that ship has sailed).

That makes sense to me too and I may have suggested it at one time but it does get resistance. :)

As you may have figured out by now, n76 is my OSM mapping ID. :)
