Hallo,
is there are large difference between these camp sites and the so-called "Trekkingplätze" in Germany except the altitude? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/DE:Trekkingpl%C3%A4tze
camp_site=basic/camp_pitch and backcountry=yes might be better.
Best regards
Michael

Hi Michael,
These places are real wild camping places with no facilities nor a designation by any (government) official as it being a camp site. You should see this from the perspective that in the (high) mountains it is often difficult to find a sort of flat space nearby water to pitch your tent for the night, or just not to roll off your mattress.
So from an OSM observability perspective, what is observable is a flat area that stands out in between all of the slopes and is interpreted as 'a great place to pitch a tent' and is therefore valuable to map. At least that's my thoughts.
Although I don't mind too much about the legal aspects, within Switzerland this is actually allowed, see https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jedermannsrecht#Schweiz
Reading about camp_site= legal aspects I think "In jurisdictions that allow camping by default: the absence of a sign or other indication may be enough to satisfy the mapper that the site is legal." applies. So yes camp_site_basic may apply to these three and a the few others with camp_type=wildcamping in the alps.
Cheers,
dikkeknodel
