What this means
Aargau kennt keine allgemeine kantonale Regelung zum Campieren oder Biwakieren. Eine Volltextsuche im gesamten schweizerischen Kantonsrecht über lexfind.ch (Begriffe «campieren», «kampieren», «biwakieren», «camping sauvage», «bivouaquer») findet ausserhalb von Obwalden keinen Erlass, der das Übernachten im Freien allgemein regelt. Über das Übernachten im Freien entscheidet in diesem Kanton deshalb die Gemeinde — meist im Polizeireglement. Was die Karte dazu weiss, steht bei der Gemeindefläche.
Show machine translation Aargau does not have a general cantonal regulation on camping or bivouaking. A full-text search of the entire Swiss cantonal law on lexfind.ch (terms "camping", "camping", "bivouaking", "camping sauvage", "bivouaquer") does not find any decree outside of Obwalden that generally regulates overnight stays outdoors. In this canton, therefore, the municipality decides on overnight stays outdoors - usually in the police regulations. What the map knows about this can be found in the municipal area.

All municipalities looked up:
For the remaining 14 municipalities of the canton, nothing has been researched yet. The map therefore leaves them unfilled and shows the municipality's contact instead — no entry never means “allowed”.
Not yet looked up
These municipalities of the canton do not have their own entry yet. They are listed here anyway, because the answer “nothing is regulated at cantonal level for Aargau, and nothing has been looked up for your municipality yet” is an answer — and because the map holds the contact of each municipality.
