Bjarteyjarsandur

The lady that works here was really friendly and supportive. They have electricity, two unisex toilets, one shower. They have a big common area. They also have random sheep and dogs playing around. They have four electric stoves, cooking utensils that you can use. They also sell coffee and different drinks. It felt cozy and comfortable to stay here. One of my favorite camp sites.

We really enjoyed this campground during our Iceland roundtrip! Nice and quiet area. Warm kitchen facility with everything you could need. Bathrooms were clean, however there was only one shower. It wasn’t too problematic though since the camping isn’t very big. Also I really enjoyed the presence of this friendly sheep :)

Super friendly owners and staff, truly some amazing people. The camping spot is nice and quiet with dogs and sheeps walking around from time to time. Communal kitchen and seating area is nice, clean and cozy. Would highly recommend their breakfast it was a 10/10.
