About

In the centre of Bíldudalur, in the Westfjords, this campsite sits by the Sea Monster Museum, a short step from the Vegamót restaurant. Run by Vesturbyggð municipality, it has restrooms, electric hookups, dishwashing, a playground, and a jumping pillow. Children stay free.

This is the campsite beside the Sea Monster Museum, set in the centre of Bíldudalur with the Vegamót restaurant close at hand. Vesturbyggð municipality runs it. The basics are covered — restrooms, electric hookups, and dishwashing — with playground gear for younger campers. The wider list is generous for a village site: a hot tub, a sauna, a jumping pillow, and an electric-car charger among them, plus a supermarket nearby. Children stay free here. Whale watching is among the things on offer in the area, which suits a town whose headline attraction is its sea monsters.

Wild camping rules have tightened. Use designated campsites to stay on the right side of the law.
