When traveling to Iceland, it is important to do research.  One of those things is everything about camping and where to camp. There are multiple campsites around the ring road, but many are inaccessible during the off-season. The Icelandic camper laws have caused many to wonder where they can camp now. 

We have taken the time to create a comprehensive map of all available campgrounds.

Campsites are multiplying every year, and we hope with your help that we can update the map frequently.

Seasonal Campsites   All year-around Campsites  Highland Campsites

 

These are all the known campsites up to date. If there are discrepancies between the map and real life, please let us know at camperstories@rent.is so we can keep the map up to date for others!

The information on the map was found on multiple websites, and many of the campsites have not updated their information. It’s important to check the campsites by yourself before arriving and book if needed. Some of the campsites require a rougher road to reach so you will need to check the road condition before setting of, this can be checked at Road.is anytime.

Note that some campsites that run all year around might have less service during the off-season but will still be open.

The different campsites vary greatly when it comes to the facilities.

The best ones have everything you need from kitchen, washing facilities, close to swimming pools, electricity, hot & cold water, everything you can possibly need. Whereas some might have just a field and cold tap water. 

There are some campsites that are free, but always make sure you are not camping illegally.

There is always a village, a gas station, a service house or even other fellow campers you can ask. 

Often, there are also signs telling you what rules apply but not all the sites has signs. Your best bet is always to ask unless clearly marked.

As the interactive map shows, there are plenty of campsites all around Iceland.

For those who are staying for a long period of time, you might want to look into the Camping card.

 

Happy Camping!  #VANCation #RENTCamper
