It mostly looks good, avoiding the over-namespacing of at least one of the earlier proposals.
Should we consider clarifying that isolated sites that support only a single party may/may not be tagged with camp_pitch? I'm comfortable with either: in one interpretation, a camp_pitch is simply a place for a single party to camp; in the other a camp_pitch is a single party's site, always within a larger facility. I'm asking because most of the camping places that I visit are either backcountry campsites, where a site is luxurious if it has a thunder box http://tinyurl.com/y3clyav3 and a fire pit, or else roadside campsites that are little more than a place to park a small caravan or pitch a tent, and may have a proper outhouse or even a well with a pitcher pump. They aren't parts of a larger campground. In the case of one long string of roadside sites (spaced perhaps 400 m apart), the area near the road https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/6370357 is legally a 'campground' and is tagged as such. The laws governing usage are different from those that apply in the wilderness areas beyond. The roadside spots continue to be maintained because of a long-standing customary use by hunters, trappers and fishermen to access those wilderness areas. (The other campgrounds that you see in the vicinity are 'proper' camp_sites with communal flush toilets and showers, offices, swimming beaches and so on. There are other strings of roadside campsites that are not so grouped. For instance, there are a dozen or so sites on Gould Road east of the end of the 'campground' that are legally 'wild forest'. Is there recommended tagging for sites without land access? At some point I may start placing individual sites to get the ref=* tagging, and there are a whole lot of pitches in that part of the world that may be numbered, reserved, paid-for sites, but that you need a canoe to get to, either because they're on islands, or because they're on trail-less lakeshore (and I at least don't want to push through the mud and vegetation to get to them overland).
