Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain kinds of campsite and their facilities, relay regulation, booking and safety information from official sources, describe wild camping rules by country, and distinguish recreational campsites from refugee camps and other temporary settlements.

A place where people camp, from a single tent pitch or bivouac site to organised campgrounds with pitches, sanitation and services for tents, caravans and motorhomes, scout and youth camps such as national jamboree sites, and designated reception areas for travelling communities; campsites are regulated for land use, safety and hygiene and are used for recreation, education, events and temporary accommodation.

What it is for: Temporary outdoor accommodation.

It can be explain kinds and facilities; relay regulation and safety; describe wild camping rules; distinguish from other camps.

Distinguishing features

Pitches for tents or vehicles

Facilities by grade

Regulated land use

Seasonal operation

What it looks like

An area with pitches for tents or vehicles, often with a reception, toilets, showers and fire points; a bivouac site may be a bare patch of ground.

How it is recognised

Place for recreational or organised camping

From bare bivouac sites to serviced campgrounds

Refugee camps and construction camps are temporary settlements, not campsites in this sense

What the second pass must settle

  • Should scout camps and traveller sites be separate entries?
  • How should campsite registers be linked?
  • The registry entry has merged aliases naming specific kinds and a German jamboree; should they be split off?
