Sven,

Thank you for your comments, I appreciate having your involvement in
this proposal.

Mainly this is used for picnic sites. It's not a common tag;
barbecue_grill=* is about equally used but also still rare. But it
might be useful for specifying all the features at a
tourism=camp_pitch, in addition to picnic sites and the like. The
reason for choosing barbecue_grill=* instead of bbq=* is that bbq
could imply permission to user your own grill, rather than the
presence of a grill which is permanently installed at the feature.

That's an interesting idea. I don't know much about this concept
myself, so it would be better if this were kept separate. Is it like
renting a summer cabin, or more like having a permanent spot in a
mobile home park (eg for fixed caravans)?

I see it's already been used 50 times. Maybe you can make a proposal
or a wiki page to document it?
