Probably should be the nearby rest area.

I've surveyed a few campsites that had a similar attribution, and had to 
move them quite a distance.

EG, when I surveyed Lowden Forest Park and access roads, the campsite 
POI was the only thing already on OSM, and it was out by many hundred of 
metres.

I'd suggest that the future method of imports should contain a key equivalent 
to "not reviewed"
If these ones had reviewed / not reviewed on them it would be clearer overall
Can anyone program a bot to pick up these rest areas and mark those without a  
subsequent change (ie new author) as not reviewed??

It's easy to pull data from one of the XAPI servers, eg to get all
fuel locations for Australia you do this:

wget 
http://osmxapi.hypercube.telascience.org/api/0.6/node\[amenity=fuel\]\[bbox=112,-45,155,-9\]
-O fuel.osm

Although the bbox does allow a few locations in from south eastern
asia, but then you can load the file into JOSM and run searches on it,
but it doesn't seem easy to search on the version number of an object,
not sure why but I've filed a bug about this:

https://josm.openstreetmap.de/ticket/4241

You can however search based on username, so if all points were bulk
imported this might be the next best way to do things:

Here's another one that seems out by hundreds of metres to me, and from 
the same source:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/node/316590785

Although it's been a while since I camped at Cynthia Bay, it was on the 
other side of the road and on the water's edge at Lake St Clair.

Just about all of these from that source are out by upto several hundred metres.

It's probably a case of truncated gps points.

This has been fixed in revision 2695, so the next stable version
should have the ability to search for the version of an OSM object. eg
version 1 = initial upload
