This tag provides a way to specify individual pitches within a campsite (a.k.a. campground) or caravan site (RV Park).
A "camp pitch" in this context is the free space used to place a tent or or caravan within a tourism=camp_site or tourism=caravan_site area.
Usually only one caravan is permitted on an individual pitch, but more than one tent may be allowed on a single pitch in some cases.
How to map
A camp pitch is tagged either as a 
node located at the pitch identifying post or sign, or a 
way around the boundary of the pitch if this area is clearly verifiable (for example, if there is a fence or border around the individual pitch area).
The pitch must be located within an area tagged tourism=camp_site or tourism=caravan_site
The following tags should be placed on the point or way:
| Tag | Description |
|---|---|
| tourism=camp_pitch | This is a pitch for a tent, caravan or motorhome. |
| ref=* | If a specific pitch has an identifier; usually on a post, sign or map; use the ref tag to record the identifier. |
| addr:unit=* | If the campground has a street address with official unit numbers for each camp pitch, then in addition to using ref=* a addr:unit=* may be used. However, not all campgrounds have street addresses so using ref=* is the more generally relevant option. |
Example
tourism=camp_pitch + ref=230 + addr:unit=230

Possible tagging errors and frequent errors
- a small, simple area, with little or no equipment, that allows you to camp legally, outside of any other structure that can be qualified as a site : tourism=camp_site + camp_site=basic
- a sports field : leisure=pitch
- a reception structure for displaced persons inquires with amenity=social_facility + social_facility:for=displaced
- a "spontaneous" camp of displaced persons is sometimes indicated with amenity=refugee_site to differentiate between a reception structure and a spontaneous camp.
