I've just been checking the Haven website for services at Haggerston 
Castle and (literally just) found:

https://www.haven.com/touring-camping

* Motorhome
* Tourer
* Trailer Tent
* (static caravan)

So, Haven is also:

caravans=yes
tents=yes
surface=paved (closest I can get to trailer tent)
motorhome_stopover=yes
static_caravans=yes
permanent_camping=yes
internet_access=wlan
landuse=commercial (belt-and braces)

Cross-checking with imagery (around way 905745175), N of the Haggerston 
Castle lake shows touring pitches with concrete pads, which might 
explain the "Trailer Tent" title.


The complexity of such large sites does seem to make tagging with a 
single activity problematic (i.e. tourism=camp_site / caravan_site / 
chalet / camp_pitch).

Although not that widely used, tourism=holiday_park has the advantage of 
being more "neutral" and a good match to the idea of a site with lots of 
"attractions" rather than just somewhere to sleep.

Just when you think you might have tagging that works, reality gets more 
complicated :-) ....
