When I was mapping local holiday parks that use static caravans some
years ago (2010-ish)  I didn't change existing tagging where they
were already mapped, but based on wiki definitions at the time
couldn't find a suitable one, so used landuse=commercial and name= 

A couple of those have been changed to tourism=caravan_site since by
other mappers, though not all.

I also noticed that I added a tourism=caravan_site for the touring
caravans within an already mapped tourism=caravan_park (which has
since been "corrected" to tourism=caravan_site by another mapper, so
now we have a site within a site).

And I've just found one that I mapped as landuse=commercial, later
changed to tourism=caravan_site, tents=yes, which has since been
changed by someone else to tourism=chalet (over a year ago).

I would have expected tourism=chalet to be more akin to Center
Parcs, but the nearest of those to me seems to be leisure=resort

So what tag should we be using for holiday parks where much of the
accommodation is static caravans (some owned, some rented by the
week, where owners can move their caravan between parks - usually on
a flat bed lorry rather than towed) and usually have an
entertainment venue somewhere on the site?

Thanks
