Frequently
asked
questions

Can I wild camp near Hvammstangi instead?
No. Sleeping in a car, van or camper outside a designated campsite has been illegal in Iceland since 2015 — use a mapped site like this one.
Do I need to book Hvammstangi in advance?
Hvammstangi is first-come, first-served — no advance booking. Arrive earlier in the day during July and August, when Icelandic campsites fill up fast.
When is Hvammstangi open?
May 15-Oct 15 0:00-24:00 — always confirm directly if you're planning a shoulder-season trip, since dates can shift year to year.
What facilities does Hvammstangi have?
Facility details for Hvammstangi aren't fully documented yet — contact the site directly or check on arrival. Basic Icelandic campsites typically have at least a toilet block.
