What this means
Campieren und Schlafen sind auf öffentlichem Grund und in dessen Umgebung verboten — und ebenso auf privatem Grund, der öffentlich zugänglich ist.
Show machine translation
Camping and sleeping are prohibited on and around public land — as well as on private land that is open to the public.
Machine-translated, may be inaccurate — the original wording is authoritative.
Der Artikel nennt das Schlafen ausdrücklich; ein Biwak ohne Zelt ist mitgemeint. Dass er auch öffentlich zugänglichen Privatgrund erfasst, macht ihn strenger als die übliche Waadtländer Fassung.

The article explicitly mentions sleeping; a bivouac without a tent is also meant. The fact that it also covers publicly accessible private property makes it stricter than the usual Vaud version.
Machine-translated, may be inaccurate — the original wording is authoritative.
On bivouacking — sleeping without a tent, in a sleeping bag — the available source says nothing. This is neither a tacit permission nor a tacit ban: it is unclear, and the municipality's information decides. Which municipalities address bivouacking
