In the case I am looking at now there is no street number for the campground. At least there is no sign indicating one nor have I seen a street number on an any map. So I guess that addr:housenumber might work. But I imagine that there are campgrounds that actually have an street number assigned to the whole complex, so overloading addr:housenumber would not work.
For what it is worth, the practice in the area I an interested in for dispatching emergency services is to use the campground name and then the written reports, if for Forest Service, use the old township and range location. Other agencies might be using UTM grid nowadays. addr:unit seems like a reasonable choice for tagging the individual campsite. In the case where the whole campground has an street address, it seems like adding a unit number to the campground address is sufficient. But the Forest Service campgrounds in many of the areas I visit have no obvious street address and the service roads within the campground are usually unnamed too. So what, if anything, should be used for the addr:street tag? Any objections to using a addr:housename tag set to the campground name? Seems like that fits Bryce's old mailman analogy as an address that might have been deliverable. Paul: I assume that you've mapped your campground. Can you give me a location to look at so I can view your tagging? Thanks! -Tod On Jun 17, 2013, at 12:30 AM, Paul Johnson wrote: > As someone who lives in a campground, that's a hack.
