About Hegranes Camping ground
Hegranes Camping ground is a group campsite at Félagsheimilið Hegranes, the community hall on the Hegranes peninsula in Skagafjörður, North Iceland. Hegranes is the low ridge of land between the two branches of the Héraðsvötn river where they reach the sea, a short drive from Sauðárkrókur. It is one of five campsites run under the Tjöldum í Skagafirði scheme.
The key point for travellers is that this is not a drop-in campsite. It is meant only for groups, such as clubs, family gatherings or tour parties, which book the site and the hall together and have the grounds to themselves. Individual campers and couples should use Sauðárkrókur Campground or the campsite at Varmahlíð instead.
What a group gets is the combination of a private camping field and a large indoor space for meals, events or bad weather. The hall is about 270 square metres and seats around 110 people. It has four toilets and a kitchen with a dishwasher, fridge, stove and coffee maker, and the house has mattresses and a licence to sleep up to 20 people indoors. Electric hook-ups are available for up to 10 vehicles.
The season runs from 16 May to 16 September. Prices are not listed on the booking page, so contact the operator by phone or email to check availability and rates. From the hall it is an easy drive to Sauðárkrókur's pool and shops, the Glaumbær turf farm museum and the rest of Skagafjörður.
