About
Langafit is a small riverside site in the village of Laugarbakki, on road 704 by the Miðfjarðará. Its comfort is a hot tub, with showers, electricity and a little playground. A handcraft shop and coffeehouse sit close by, and a nearby greenhouse sells strawberries and vegetables. Open mid-May to the end of September.
The comfort that stands out at Langafit is the hot tub — welcome after a day on the road — alongside showers, electricity and a small playground. It's a small, cosy site on the riverside of the Miðfjarðará, on road 704 in Laugarbakki. What makes the spot is the neighbourhood. A handcraft store and a little coffeehouse sit close by, a greenhouse nearby sells strawberries, vegetables and other produce, and the Laugarbakki hotel serves local food. Restrooms are all-gender and shared, with an extra one in the store during opening hours and hot and cold water for washing up. It's a quiet village stop rather than a big campground, open from 15 May to 30 September.
Wild camping rules have tightened. Use designated campsites to stay on the right side of the law.
