Thanks Joseph (& apologies for encroaching earlier!)

I agree that the simple tags eg drinking_water=yes for each of the features
sound better than the namespaced version

cabins  <number>         Whether cabins are offered

I have only ever seen 1 cabin per site, but it would be helpful, especially
for families, to also list number of beds per each cabin (cabin=yes +
beds=2/4/8).

As above, the simple caravans=yes/no, tents=yes/no, cabin=yes, possibly
also big_rig=yes/no (for 5th wheelers & bus-sized motorhomes that may not
fit on a normal sized site) for each site seems easier & better.

We recently discussed this tag for electricity supply:

Which would also tie in with the recent discussion of sockets / plugs /
connectors or whatever it was decided to call them!, to specify what you
are going to plug your power in to.

parking yes/no  If motor vehicle parking is permitted at the pitch

Yes, that would work fine. Some tent only camping grounds, you can't park
beside your tent. You have to park in the car park over there & carry
everything across to your actual camp site.

An open fire usually refers to a fire burning on the ground. 2 other
options, 1 of which I mentioned, are off-ground fires only, which is when
you can only have a fire in an off the ground brazier or fire pit, so as to
avoid burning the grass; or fires in existing fire rings only - I don't
like them - you can't see the flames! :-)

Very important for caravanners!

How about sullage=yes/no, or perhaps grey_water=yes/no?

Thanks
