The idea
Gehören zu + dative states that something is part of something: Der Baum gehört zu unserem Stellplatz. Noch here means still within. Verlaufen (to run) describes lines and boundaries. Würde + infinitive describes a hypothetical result. Darüber hinausgehen means to go beyond it; darüber refers back to the boundary. Freilassen (to keep clear) is separable.
Other ways to say it
“Wo genau endet unser Platz?” – Short, direct question about the boundary.
“Dürfen wir das Zelt etwas weiter nach links stellen?” – Asks permission to move the tent.
Examples
- Gehört der Baum noch zu unserem Stellplatz?Is the tree still within our pitch?
- Die Grenze verläuft zwischen den Markierungen.The boundary runs between the markers.
- Unsere Zeltleine würde darüber hinausgehen.Our tent rope would extend beyond it.
- Dann besprechen wir die Aufstellung noch einmal.Then let us discuss the positioning again.
- Ich möchte den Nachbarplatz freilassen.I would like to keep the neighboring pitch clear.
- Gut, zeigen Sie mir die geplante Position.Good; show me the planned position.

Watch out
“Gehört der Baum noch zu unser Stellplatz?” → “Gehört der Baum noch zu unserem Stellplatz?”: Zu always takes the dative. Stellplatz is masculine, so the possessive needs the dative ending -em: unserem.
