Interpretation of german abbreviations in camper parking areas

Hi, Ineed help deciphering some German abbreviations found at camper parking spots on a map. The abbreviations are:
  • Ü/F/A/T/S/D
  • N/ve/s/d/t
  • OB/Ve/S/D/D
I'm unsure about their exact meanings. For instance, "S" might stand for "Strom" (Electricity) or "D" for "Dusche" (Shower), but I'm quite puzzled about the others.

If anyone has knowledge about these kinds of symbols or knows where I can find more information, I would really appreciate any advice or pointers.
 
Ü = Übernachtung (Overnight Stay)
F = Frischwasser (Fresh Water)
A = Abwasser (Waste Water)
T = Toilettenkassette (Toilet smth. ... I have no Idea what that means, lol)
S = Strom (Power / Electricity)
D = Dusche (Shower)
N = Nächtigung (Overnight Stay)
ve = Versorgung / Entsorgung enthalten (Fresh / Waste water included, eg. without additional cost)
s = Strom enthalten (Power / Electricity included, eg. without additional cost)
d = Dusche enthalten (Shower included, eg. without additional cost)
t = Toilettennutzung enthalten (Toilet included, eg. without additional cost)
OB = Seems to be related to (waste) water via bottom inlet (whatever that is :D)
Ve = Versorgung kostenpflichtig, Entsorgung enthalten (Fresh Water must be paid additionally, Waste Water included)

No guarantees though, I am German but not a Camper:)
 
Wow, you've described everything perfectly.
Thank you so much for your help.

I am trying to batch import some points on a map. Their titles contain these abbreviations, and since they are very helpful, I am trying in some way to decipher them to preserve them.

So, from what you've written, I deduce that:
  • lowercase letter = service included
  • uppercase letter = additional service for a fee
The only thing I don't understand is why there are two identical letters, whether uppercase or lowercase, in the same set of abbreviations:

/D/D/

I suspect this is a portable toilet which has the chemicals in and needs to be emptied, rather than a plumbed in toilet.

I was unfortunate enough to have to use one of those once in the Bronx.
I felt dirty for about a month afterwards and my lungs took a while to recover.

I think this is a place where you can empty the Toilettenkassette.
This is a Toilettenkassette:
