Búðardalur
About
Búðardalur's campsite occupies the middle of the village, opposite the grocery store and fuel stations, in West Iceland. Electricity reaches both the upper area for motorhomes and the lower area for tents, and the village's new swimming pool has hot tubs, a cold plunge, and a sauna. Three glamping cabins too.
Búðardalur puts you in the centre of the village, directly across from the grocery store and the N1 and Olís stations — hard to be more convenient. The service building has hot and cold water, toilets, and showers, with laundry, a shared seating area, and a small kitchen corner running a kettle, microwave, and hotplate. Electricity covers both parts of the site: the upper area for motorhomes and caravans, the lower for tents. Walk a little and you'll reach cafés, restaurants, a craft store, an ATM, and postal services, plus a football field, playground, disc golf, and a jumping pillow. The new swimming pool adds hot tubs, a cold plunge, and a sauna. The Dalir region carries plenty of Icelandic history — Eiríksstaðir, Erpsstaðir Creamery, Hólar Zoo, and horse rental are all in reach. Three glamping cabins are available if you'd rather not pitch.
Camping cards can save you money if you're spending multiple nights in the tent. Do the math.
