About

Flateyri's campsite sits at the foot of the mountainside in a small grove, in a Westfjords village of about 300 people on Önundarfjörður. A playground and barbecue area are right beside it, with the swimming pool and a restaurant a short walk away. Electricity, cold water and toilets.

Flateyri is a small village northwest of Önundarfjörður, now part of the Ísafjörður municipality, home to roughly 300 people. The campsite tucks in at the base of the mountainside, in a little grove. Right next door are a children's playground and a barbecue area, and it's a short walk to the swimming pool and a restaurant. On-site you'll find electricity, cold water and toilets. It's a modest, sheltered spot — a quiet place to stop while working your way round this corner of the Westfjords.

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