What this means
Neuenburg 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.

Neuchâtel does not have any general cantonal regulations on camping or bivouaking. A full-text search of lexfind.ch (terms "camping", "camping", "bivouaking", "camping sauvage", "bivouaquer") in all Swiss cantonal law does not find any decree outside 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.

Die Richtlinie der Generalstaatsanwaltschaft zur vereinfachten Anzeige (322.00) führt «camping sauvage» als Tatbestand auf. Das heisst: im Kanton Neuenburg wird es verfolgt — die Grundlage dafür liegt aber in kommunalem Recht, nicht in einer kantonalen Regel.

The Attorney General's Directive on Simplified Reporting (322.00) lists "camping sauvage" as an offence. This means that it is prosecuted in the canton of Neuchâtel – but the basis for this lies in municipal law, not in a cantonal rule.

Municipalities with their own information
Outside protected areas, the municipality decides. For these 5, their regulations have been looked up.
| Prohibited | 1 |
| Not regulated or unclear | 4 |
For the remaining 21 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 Neuchâtel, and nothing has been looked up for your municipality yet” is an answer — and because the map holds the contact of each municipality.
