Talk:Tag:tourism=camp site

From OpenStreetMap Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

In this page, the tag camp_site is applicable to nodes only. In the Key:tourism page, it is applicable to nodes and areas. Which page is right ? Osmarender doesn't seem to take into account the camp_site as an area.

of course: area and node! --Markus 07:43, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
To further this question it seems that some camp site tags only apply to nodes according to the wiki. For example, I want to add a scout camp which is fairly large in area and encompasses multiple buildings and other facilities. I was going to tag it the same way you tag schools but according to the wiki the scout=yes tag only applies to nodes, not areas. Is this an error, can you apply the scout=yes tag to an area?

How can you add the contact telephone number of the campsite? Robneild 09:09, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I like the idea to add information to the camp site node (or area) and differ between different kinds. Since there are 4 different icons proposed the tags should be equivalent to these icons. Why don't we put a scale scheme, perhaps like this: type=1/2/3/4? Alternative: Shouldn't there be a tag service=yes/no? And what does tents=yes mean? That thera are only tents permited? --Geogast 13:30, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Maybe some sort of logarithmic scale? scale=1 : up to 10 people scale=2 up to 100 people scale=3 up to 1000 people? In the Netherlands we have the so called Paalkampeerterreinen (pole-campsites) where only 3 tents at the same time are allowed (approx 10 people) and where one camps in a circle around a pole just somewhere in the wild... Tents=yes means that at least tents are allowed I guess.... GercoKees 18:16, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
Why not "tents=100" if there is space for about 100 tents? Would be much easier than to invent a new system with scales -- Skunk 17:14, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Scout camps (gender distinction)

I like the idea of noting scout camps with "scout=yes". But I think it could be slightly more specific. I propose "scout=boy" for camps which are used primarily by organizations such as the Boy Scouts of America, and "scout=girl" for camps used primarily by organizations such as the Girl Scouts of the USA. (There is one of each variety in my area.) The existing "scout=yes" can still be used for camps which are used by scouts of both genders. Vid the Kid 02:32, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Surely scout camp sites (or those operated by other organisations) count as private areas, and therefore wouldn't normally be on a public map? But if it was necessary to note these, surely it would be better to use a standard operator name. Scout=yes is meaningless to those who don't know how your particular country's organisation works (indeed in writing this I'm jumping to assumptions about your boy scout organisation being one which operates private sites for scouts only).

Further specifications

caravan=yes/no if the site allows or not caravans (untagged means no information), cabins=yes/no/number for cabins. Can probably add even more information, as the level of service on camp sites varies a lot. Some sites offer only cold shower while other have hot shower as well water and electrical power for caravans. --Skippern 03:44, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

You also need the converse for Tag:tourism=caravan_site to indicate that a caravan site accepts tents. ChrisB 16:39, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Seasonal Opening

Is there a tag (except from note) to add information that a camping site is not open through the entire year ? --Creando 16:19, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Please have a look at key:opening hours --!i! 08:32, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Further ideas

We have a cooperation here in Germany state Mecklenburg Vorpommern with a camping foundation. They have already a very poor internet map and allowed us to add camping sites out of there catalog. There they attribute every camp with a few icons: http://camping-caravan-mv.de/die-regionen/campingplatz-details.php?region=2&cp_id=100# that could give ideas for us:

A few that are very usefull for direct tagging:

Attribute Description possible Key

babybath
(Babybad)
is there some place to take care of babys?
