CampEast - Eskifjörður

East Iceland, Icelandfrom 2,500 ISK/nightBookable7 facilities

About

CampEast Eskifjörður sits by the river Bleiksá at the village entrance, tucked into a small patch of woodland in the East Fjords. Showers, toilets, a playground and electricity, with the village services and swimming pool a short distance off. Open late June to early September; children free.

The Eskifjörður site sits just as you come into the village, right beside the river Bleiksá and surrounded by a bit of young forest — unusual company in this part of Iceland. Facilities cover the basics well: showers, a toilet block, electricity and a playground for children. Everything the village offers, including the swimming pool, is only a short distance away. The season is a short one, roughly 26 June to 1 September. You can drop in or book in advance, and children stay free.

Camping cards can save you money if you're spending multiple nights in the tent. Do the math.
