About
Húsavík's campsite is an easy walk from the town's swimming pool and grocery store in north Iceland. It has two showers, a washing machine and dryer, toilets, and free internet. Dettifoss, Lake Mývatn, and Ásbyrgi are all a short drive off. Open mid-May to the end of September.
Húsavík's campsite scores on convenience: it's a short walk to the town swimming pool and grocery store, so you can restock and warm up without moving the car. On site there are two showers, a washing machine, a tumble dryer, toilets, and free internet. The location is the other half of the appeal. Húsavík is a short drive from some of the north's best-known sights — the Dettifoss waterfall, Lake Mývatn, and the Ásbyrgi canyon — which makes the town a practical base for a few days. The listing also flags bike routes and whale watching in the area. The season runs from mid-May to the end of September.
Camping cards can save you money if you're spending multiple nights in the tent. Do the math.
