What this means

Auf öffentlichem Grund ist Campieren bewilligungspflichtig; die Bewilligung ist vorher bei der Gemeinde einzuholen. Auf privaten Grundstücken gilt kein grundsätzliches Verbot — es kann aber untersagt werden, wenn die öffentliche Sicherheit oder die Ruhe und Ordnung gestört oder gefährdet wird.

Camping on public property is subject to a permit; permission must be obtained from the municipality in advance. There is no general prohibition on private property — but it can be prohibited if public safety or peace and order are disturbed or endangered.
