About
Hafnarfjörður Campsite sits on Víðistaðatún, a green park ringed by lava, close to Reykjavík yet walkable to the town's shops and cafés. Hot and cold water, showers, a washing machine, free Wi-Fi and electricity, plus a barbecue shelter and playground. Dogs welcome. Open 15 May to 30 September.
Hafnarfjörður's campsite is laid out on Víðistaðatún, a green recreation area edged by lava formations, with a calm, welcoming feel and room for families. Shops, restaurants and cafés are an easy walk away. Facilities run to showers, toilets, outdoor dishwashing sinks, a washing machine, electricity, free Wi-Fi, and both hot and cold water. A barbecue shelter and playground sit right beside the site, and dogs are welcome. A few rules to note: a seven-night maximum stay, guests under 18 must have a guardian, and there are no cooking facilities or indoor guest areas. The town is known for its lava landscape and its hidden-people folklore, and Reykjavík is close by. The site is run by the Hraunbúar Scout Association, with profits going to youth scouting locally. Open 15 May to 30 September.
Camping cards can save you money if you're spending multiple nights in the tent. Do the math.
