What this means
Melide has no rules of its own. What is stated here is higher-level law — not a provision of this municipality.
Melide hat weder Reglement noch Verordnung zum Campieren und stützt sich auf das kantonale Recht. Weil auf dem Gemeindegebiet keine Flächen dafür ausgewiesen sind, ist das Übernachten im Freien dort überall untersagt.
Show machine translation
Melide has neither regulations nor ordinances on camping and is based on cantonal law. Because there are no areas designated for this purpose in the municipal area, spending the night outdoors is prohibited everywhere.
Machine-translated, may be inaccurate — the original wording is authoritative.
Im Tessin gilt die kantonale Legge sui campeggi: Campieren nur auf bewilligten Plätzen, ausgenommen das Zelten zum Zweck des Biwakierens im Gebirge (Art. 2). Melide liegt am See auf rund 270 Metern und hat kein Gelände oberhalb der Waldgrenze; die Ausnahme greift dort praktisch nicht. Die Gemeinde hat sie nicht eigens angesprochen.

In Ticino, the cantonal legge sui campeggi applies: camping only on approved sites, with the exception of camping for the purpose of bivouacking in the mountains (Art. 2). Melide is located on the lake at around 270 metres and has no terrain above the tree line; the exception practically does not apply there. The municipality has not specifically approached them.
