All you need to know about campsites

Where can we park overnight in Iceland?

New laws prevent “wild camping” in a camper in Iceland. As you drive around the island, you’ll find amazing campsites everywhere with good facilities. Now that the infrastructure is more developed we recommend taking advantage of it. If you don’t, you will become hugely unpopular with the locals and the police will stop you and likely give you a fine. Here’s a map of all of the campsites in Iceland.

When it comes to the winter months, things aren’t quite as ironed out and we recommend you read through the Winter Camping section for any camper trip outside of May-September. There you will find a list of open campsites, hotels, and hostels that allow camping on their grounds and more detailed information.

Included in your rental is also the Easy Guide. A tablet that contains all the campsites, with opening hours, cost estimates, and more. The campsites are categorized either as Winter Campsites or Summer Campsites in the tablet.

Do I need to book campsites ahead of time?

No. You will (almost) never arrive at a campsite that won’t be able to accommodate you.

Should I buy a camping card? Where can I buy it?

It depends on how many are in your group, how long you intend to stay, what route you intend to take, and what time of year you are coming.

  • Don’t buy it outside of these months as most of their campsites are closed:
    • May (mid)
    • June
    • July
    • August
    • September (mid)

It grants access to selected campsites only.

The camping card offers no campsites in the highlands.

Camping Card can be bought online as an electronic version that will go into the Apple or Android wallet on your phone.

For more details, please visit Campingcard | Útilegukortið

The longer you intend to stay, the better value the Camping Card becomes. 10 days is the minimum in our estimates.

Camping Card is valid for 2 adults and up to 4 children (usually under 15/16, depending on the campsite).

If there are more than 2 adults travelling in your group, you will need more Camping Cards.
