What other travelers are saying about
Ólafsfjörður Campsite
Best in small town camp I had been to in a two week trip around Iceland! Showers are clean! Sink and tables inside just perfect! Right next to disc golf course and swimming pool! Even free mini golf to kill time! Great camp and friendly camp manager! Love it so much! Thank you!
Spacious campsite which didn't feel as crowded as many other campsites in Iceland. Nice kitchen, a bit small but at least it encourages a chat with fellow campers :) Long queues for toilets and showers though, a bit impractical that one of the two toilets is located in the shower so it can't be used as long as someone is showering. Accepts camping card.
Good camping with all necessary facilities. Very clean and warm kitchen and bathrooms. The only deficiency is kitchen's small size: there's a room inside for just 4-5 person at the same time. Otherwise it is a great option for one night staying.
