This tag provides a way to specify individual pitches within a campsite (a.k.a. campground) or caravan site (RV Park).
A "camp pitch" in this context is the free space used to place a tent or or caravan within a tourism=camp_site or tourism=caravan_site area.
Usually only one caravan is permitted on an individual pitch, but more than one tent may be allowed on a single pitch in some cases.
How to map
A camp pitch is tagged either as a
node located at the pitch identifying post or sign, or a
way around the boundary of the pitch if this area is clearly verifiable (for example, if there is a fence or border around the individual pitch area).
The pitch must be located within an area tagged tourism=camp_site or tourism=caravan_site
The following tags should be placed on the point or way:
| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
tourism= |
This is a pitch for a tent, caravan or motorhome. |
ref=* |
If a specific pitch has an identifier; usually on a post, sign or map; use the ref tag to record the identifier. |
addr:unit=* |
If the campground has a street address with official unit numbers for each camp pitch, then in addition to using ref=* a addr:unit=* may be used. However, not all campgrounds have street addresses so using ref=* is the more generally relevant option.
|
Example
tourism=
+ ref=230
+ addr:unit=230
