Lónsá Campsite
About Lónsá Campsite
Lónsá Campsite is a small campground at the farm Lónsá, about 3 km north of the centre of Akureyri in North Iceland. It opened in August 2015 alongside Lónsá Guesthouse and takes tents, motorhomes and caravans. Being just outside town, it suits travellers who want to stay near Akureyri's services without camping in the town centre.
Facilities listed for the site include toilets, showers, hot and cold water, electricity hook-ups, a dish-washing area, a laundry dryer and waste disposal for motorhomes. Prices are not published online, so contact the campsite or guesthouse directly for current rates.
From Lónsá it is a short drive into Akureyri for shops, restaurants and museums, and to the town's two public pools, Glerárlaug and Akureyri Swimming Pool. Walking paths run through the surrounding countryside, and the site is a sensible starting point for day trips around Eyjafjörður and further east to Goðafoss and the Mývatn area.
The campsite is listed as open all year, but winter weather and short daylight hours make conditions very different from summer. If you plan to camp between October and April, confirm with the site before arriving that facilities are running. For summer visits, booking ahead is sensible if you need an electricity hook-up.
