Húsavík Camping Ground
About Húsavík Camping Ground
Húsavík Camping Ground is the town campsite on Héðinsbraut at the north edge of Húsavík in North Iceland, within walking distance of the whale-watching harbor and the town pool. It takes tents, caravans, campervans and motorhomes.
Facilities are practical rather than fancy: toilets, showers, a cooking area, a washing machine and tumble dryer, free Wi-Fi, electrical hookups and a waste discharge point. There's no booking system, so you choose a pitch, then check in and pay at reception.
The Húsavík campsite opens from mid-May to the end of September. Expect to pay per adult per night, plus extra for electricity and laundry and the national lodging tax per unit. Rates change each year, so check with the operator (+354 792 0160) before you arrive, and note that the town's summer festival, Mærudagar, makes late July the busiest stretch.
For camping in Húsavík, two or three nights works well. Ásbyrgi canyon is about 50 minutes' drive northeast, Lake Mývatn and Goðafoss are both around 45 minutes away, and the GeoSea sea baths are a short drive up the headland.
