Machine-translated, may be inaccurate — the original wording is authoritative.
Zum Nachtlager ohne Zelt sagt die Bestimmung nichts. Anders als die übrigen Bündner Bestimmungen gilt dieses Verbot nicht nur auf öffentlichem Grund, sondern auf dem ganzen Gemeindegebiet — privater Boden eingeschlossen. Die Bewilligung nach Art. 2 betrifft den gewerbsmässigen Betrieb eines Platzes, nicht die einzelne Übernachtung.

The provision says nothing about the night camp without a tent. Unlike the other Graubünden provisions, this prohibition applies not only to public property, but to the entire municipal area - including private land. The authorisation under Article 2 concerns the commercial operation of a campsite, not the individual overnight stay.
