The municipality, in figures
The municipality
Norrtälje is a very large municipality measuring 87 by 98 kilometres, spread over 425 separate pieces. With 65.770 inhabitants it is of medium density (31 per square kilometre). It has a coastline, and that matters: the strip of maritime-terrestrial public domain is governed by its own rule, different from that of the rest of the municipality. Within its boundaries there are 106 protected areas, including Malmsjön. There, the rules on permitted uses are set by each area's own plan. It borders 24 municipalities, and the answer may change on crossing any of those lines.

4 areas: Malmsjön · Ängsö · Bullerskär · Rimsjöskogen
Protected-area designation: the rule of the protected area applies here in addition to the municipal one, and it usually makes the penalty harsher.

- the allemansrätten does NOT cover husbil, husvagn or a car with a roof tent
- THE LANDOWNER CANNOT GRANT PERMISSION: the terrängkörningslagen binds the landowner too

«Det ingår inte i allemansrätten att ställa upp en husbil, husvagn eller en bil med taktält i terräng.»
Where the line lies between parking, sleeping and camping
camping · Sweden
Camping is forbidden outside a campsite or designated zone. What changes from one country to another is which gesture crosses the line:
- draws the line EARLIER than almost anyone: at the WHEEL
- forbidden «oavsett om du vill övernatta eller bara parkera» — regardless of whether the intention is to sleep overnight or just to park
- the roof tent is EXPRESSLY named as not covered, because it is mounted on a vehicle

«oavsett om du vill övernatta eller bara parkera»
On the beach the answer is no even if the municipality is permissive: the prohibition is national and needs no sign.
