We strongly encourage reserving ahead as space at the campsite is limited, particularly in the summer months. Booking in advance through our website gives you a 10% discount, and by reserving ahead you have your access code upon arrival, which allows you to enter the campsite and use our facilities without delay, ensuring a smooth check-in process.

Reservations for the Reykjavík Campsite are non-refundable. If you need to cancel your stay, please note you will not receive a refund, however we can offer to use the amount you paid as credit for a future reservation to be used within 12 months. Requests for these modifications are sent directly to info@reykjavikcampsite.is and are always subject to our availability.

Campsite rentals are limited to 7 nights in a 30-day period.

The price includes the type of campsite pitch you chose, access to our facilities (guest kitchen and lounge area, bathrooms, showers, outdoor sinks, and Wi-Fi).

We try our best to keep our site secure. We ask all guests to follow our Campsite Rules . Only registered guests are meant to have access to the facilities via their access code, and guests are requested to contact personnel if they see any intruders. We have a team patrolling the campsite during the daytime. There is controlled CCTV and certain areas are closed off at night. However, it’s an open area, and theft can happen. We ask that you always keep your valuables secure, whether by locking them away or carrying them with you. We also have small lockers for valuables on-site with an outlet where you can lock up and charge your valuables without worry. We can’t take responsibility for your luggage and valuables left in the open.

Yes, you surely can. We have collected our bestsellers and recommended tours including transport options to the Highlands. To ensure your spot, we encourage you to book your tour online prior to your stay but we are also happy to assist with planning and booking your adventures at the reception desk. We have lots of information and tips about popular hikes and day trips.

Transportation to the city center is available by public bus #14 or by bike (15 minutes along the seaside or 30-40 minutes on foot). Laundry facilities with washing machines and dryers are available at the campsite. Credit cards are accepted, and soap is provided. Limited designated disabled camping zones are available. Guests can contact the reception for assistance. There is no on-site shop, but a grocery shop called Krambúðin is a 5-minute walk away. Guest feedback is welcomed to improve services and enhance the experience for future travelers
