No municipal regulation, free camping not desired.

Machine-translated, may be inaccurate — the original wording is authoritative.

Diesen Satz hat die Gemeinde selbst für die Karte formuliert. Bowil hat kein Ortspolizeireglement zum Campieren; die Gemeinde weist darauf hin, dass daraus keine Erlaubnis folgt: der Grundeigentümer ist vorher zu fragen und muss einverstanden sein. Als Grund nennt sie fehlende Sanitäranlagen.

Show machine translation

The municipality itself formulated this sentence for the map. Bowil does not have local police regulations for camping; the municipality points out that this does not result in permission: the landowner must be asked beforehand and must agree. The reason given is the lack of sanitary facilities.
