Protected-area designation: the rule of the protected area applies here in addition to the municipal one, and it usually makes the penalty harsher.

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
