  • Campsites on Iceland

    Camping in Iceland during the spring-summer season offers a unique opportunity to spend time in the bosom of a harsh and capricious, yet boundlessly beautiful nature. The island offers a variety of camping spots. Whether you stick to the main roads or have plans to explore the interior, you will successfully find many atmospheric campsites and mountain refuges to spend the night.

    Some of these places (especially along Highway 1) are not badly equipped, but many offer only the most basic comforts. However, these points always make sensational bases for closer or further treks and day trips.

    Among the most beautiful are the hut at Hveravellir, full of nearby hot springs, and the campsite among the rainbow mountains of Landmannalaugar. The choice is huge, and our tips will help you choose the places that best suit your travel goals!
