Local ordinances can also make things like camping on private property illegal. That would be at the city level, but really an HOA is just another form of local government so I'd argue that counts too.

Isn’t the HOA civil though? Like they could assess a bunch of fine and send them to you, but they couldn’t enforce some kind of removal from your land as some kind of criminal offense the police would enforce?

I'm not a lawyer, but I know they can put enough leins on a property to take possession of it. I'm pretty sure police will also forcefully remove someone who's violating civil trespassing laws, but again, not a lawyer.
