A caravan site, caravan park, motorhome stopover location or RV park is a place where people with caravans / motorhomes / recreational vehicles can stay overnight, or longer, in allotted spaces known as "pitches" or "sites". They usually provide facilities including toilets, waste disposal, water supply, power supply etc..
They may also have some space for tents. If a site is primarily for tents, it should be tagged as tourism=camp_site. If tents are allowed on a site it should be tagged with tents=yes.
This tag is not for mapping parking spaces for (unoccupied) storage of caravans / RVs (though some caravan sites may offer that as an additional service).
How to Map
Place a node or draw an area
around the perimeter of the caravan site, and tag it as tourism=caravan_site.

Mapping Facilities Within the Site
If the positions are known, facilities within the site can be mapped as separate nodes or areas:.
- tourism=camp_pitch - to map individual pitches within the caravan site, where one caravan can be located
- amenity=toilets
- amenity=drinking_water where humans can obtain smaller quantities of potable water for consumption
- amenity=water_point where you can get larger amounts of "drinking water" for filling a fresh water holding tank
- amenity=waste_disposal
- amenity=recycling
- amenity=sanitary_dump_station for chemical toilets and waste water ("grey water").
