What other travelers are saying about
Borgarfjörður eystra Campground i
There's a small kitchen but it's too tiny, so two-three people can't cook food together. Big anount of toilets and showers, though toilets lacks WC-paper, and then somebody placed paper inside, it was all wet. Wi-fi works only near the building. The area is super picturesque.
There are limited charging stations available, which may not be sufficient for the number of vehicles. The site offers only two coin-operated hot water rooms. The kitchen is quite small, and guests often need to queue for cooking and dishwashing. However, the location is excellent and provides a comfortable stay overall.
Very good experience overall! The staff was welcoming. Facilities are clean and in great conditions. There is a kitchen by the reception that you can use for cooking and washing dishes. Also two inside tables to eat. The view around the camping is stunning and there is a view point uphill of the camping. Puffins observation point is a 5 minute drive.
