What is a Campground?

A campground is a developed designated site for camping in tents and/or recreational vehicles.

Where do I place a campground structure point?

Place the structure point in the center of the campground or if the campground has a fee or entrance station that would be acceptable as well. To avoid a clustering of points be sure to place one point per campground. For campgrounds that are separated by a large area of land or a main road it is acceptable to add an additional point to capture the entire campground. 

What address should be given for campgrounds?

If the authoritative site for a campground does have an address for the campground use that address. Some campgrounds may not have a complete physical address, in which case it is acceptable to just include a road name.
