Want Iceland All To Yourself? Now is the time.
Last update: January 22th, 2021.
You want to come to Iceland for a vacation during these strange times. We understand completely. We even think you might be surprised how easy, diverse, and affordable it is. Here’s how you do it.
Before arrival:
Once in Iceland:
Bonus:
The quarantine for your first five days can be a lot of fun. You are allowed to take your camper/rental car out for excursions and explorations. There are many cottages/cabins that have hot tubs, and many of them rest near excellent hiking trails or points of interest (more on that below). There are also hotels that offer special quarantine offers now, with food and entertainment provided throughout your stay. Quarantine as a visitor in Iceland does not mean staying at a hospital or some medical hotel/institution. If you research the regions in Iceland, you’ll quickly find plenty of points of interest to enjoy during those 5 days.
The diversity and beauty of Iceland’s nature are known to many. Less known is the truly diverse, creative, and appealing accommodation spread around Iceland. We recommend you choose the porta-potty (travel toilet) in step 2 in the booking process if you intend to drive more than 3-4 hours to reach your quarantine accommodation, as you are not allowed to stop and use bathrooms or other facilities along the way. We believe anyone can find something to their liking on the “Full List” below, but to aid in this search, we have put together a small recommended list, filtered from the 390 hotels/guesthouses/cottages that are quarantine ready.

Sterilizing our Campers
We have taken extensive measures to sterilize our campers before each rental. Two passes on any surface presumed to be touched more than once, new routines to guarantee equipment goes through the cleaning process regardless of how it appears. No COVID-19 case can be traced to our campers.
Iceland is a sparsely populated island and has long allured travelers with its untouched nature. We at CampEasy travel much around the country, and by avoiding the most commercial destinations, we haven’t found the island crowded by any means. However, there’s always the occasional fellow wanderer passing by during the low season, and you can find some crowds at the most popular destinations at peak season. Not anymore. The island is empty. If you are looking to explore or photograph Icelands’ most appealing aspect, nature, you have a unique opportunity right now.
Travel by van is cheaper than your hotel-to-hotel trip.

Trustworthy, and reliable to pay you back if anything comes up.

A break from COVID-19 might be just what you need.
An exploration into the natural Icelandic environment is good for mental and physical health.
