Category set up - sharing child and parent

Ok so I am struggling to decide on the best set up for listing categories and sub cats. Here is what I need to do:

We sell mobile homes on campsites in different areas of France. On the site I need to have listings for the campsites and listings for the mobile homes. All of which also need to be separated by region. Our clients always like to see all parks in their favourite region.

I have each region as a category and then "campsites" and "mobile homes" as sub cats. Problem is that even if you use a same sub cat name but different slug , any listing that has a sub cat checked, will show in the listing count for all categories with the same name, and then return a "no listings for that category" message.

What would be perfect would be:

Paris
Campsites
Mobile homes

Languedoc
Campsites
Mobile homes

Brittany
Campsites
Mobile homes

It looks like I have to actually call each category a completely different name to stop the false counts.

EG:

Paris
Paris Campsites
Paris Mobile homes

Languedoc
Paris Campsites
Paris Mobile homes

Brittany
Paris Campsites
Paris Mobile homes

This is a bit messy. Has anyone had similar issues and found a work around?

Cheers
