Non-designated is not necessarily temporary. Some hotels may offer the

I still think the the problem is the word, "non-designated". Its a
contradiction IMHO. Just about everywhere is non-designated, what makes
these particular spots special ? The answer is that they are somehow
"sponsored" by some hotel or what ever. So would a better approach be
camp_site=sponsored ?
You are camping there because the Hotel either encourages, or at least
does not discourage camping. I guess they get some benefit and they may
provide some services and do provide some security. The defining
characteristic of this camp site is its associated with the Hotel.
The general area has no camping facilities of any kind.
The hotel provides basic services (access to toilet and maybe showers) due to
the demand but they don't really 'encourage' camping.
Some places in India do the same .. and they are not hotels by any description!
Road side fast food + bar would be a better description.
Would that cover the Kite Club you mention ? Is the Kite Club a
sponsoring body ? Or just a name for a location ?
I'd think there is a group of people that fly kites .. and they have a club
building there. They make some money by letting campers use their facilities.
If its just a location, then camp_site=basic sounds like it fits.
(camp_site=* ) -
sponsored = A place to camp near a (commercial?) operation that may
provide some limited facilities and security.
basic = nothing other than an area to pitch a tent or park a vehicle.
standard = Basic + toilets and water
serviced = Standard + shower + power
fully_serviced = Serviced + camp kitchen + Laundry
deluxe = Fully_Serviced + swimming pool/restaurant

In some parts of the world you can get basic accommodation at religious
facilities (churches, mosques to name two).
The world is a big place .. what is appropriate to be mapped in one part may be
inappropriate in another.
So tags that are required in some parts may not be suitable for use in others.
