Korpudalur

Korpudalur started life as an old farmhouse and has been renovated into a hostel, with the campsite alongside. It sits at the very head of Önundarfjörður, walled in by high mountains, near Flateyri. Campers get a small hut with two toilets, a shower and a sink for washing up. There's electricity, WiFi, a washing machine and a kitchen, and sleeping-bag accommodation if you'd rather sleep indoors. The area is built for moving around. A 15 km traditional route runs through Korpudalur and over Álftafjarðarheiði, with more climbing and angling on offer nearby. Birdwatchers do well here — thousands of seabirds, ducks, sparrows and the occasional eagle. Over at Ísafjörður and Flateyri you can add swimming, hot pots, kayaking and golf. It runs from 20 May to 15 September.

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