Bjarteyjarsandur
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.
This was our last of 11 campgrounds during our Iceland trip. It was a good thing that it was last because this campground was by far our favorite. The only downside was no black water disposal. With that out of the way here is what we lived about Bjarteyjarsandur Campground. It is a small family owned and operated site, and a working sheep farm. We were greeted by a very old sheep that seems to be a bit of a family pet. Since it is working sheep farm there were 3 friendly and curious Border Collies keeping an eye on us. As I was cooking dinner one parked in front of my door hoping for a handout, Other than being a working farm, the other distinguishing feature here is the Cafe/common area. It is spacious and cozy, and a variety of beverages are offered for sale. A variety of handmade wool items are for sale, all made from the wool produced on the farm and knitted by one of the farm owners. I didn’t take advantage of it, but there is a hot tub by the ocean option as well. Good WiFi in the common area, adequate number of bathrooms for the size of the campground. Would definitely return here
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 :)
