[Tagging] Camps

[pmailkeey .]

I think we can nibble away at this for 'some time' not achieving much by
going round in circles too much. Can we look at the camp problem on a wiki
page where we can all chip in - by listing every different kind of camp we
can think of and categorising each whether leisure, commercial, individual,
groups, activity-based - then see what categories we end up with and try to
find category names that are the most suitable ? Hopefully by the end of it
we'll develop good categories and descriptions for each type.
