About

Lónsá is a spacious, no-frills site on the edge of Akureyri, right by Route 1 as you come in from the Reykjavík direction. It sits next to the Lónsá guesthouse, about 2 km from the town centre, and takes tents, folding campers and mobile homes. Electricity, showers and toilets are provided.

Lónsá's main asset is location. It's right beside Route 1 on the way into Akureyri from the south, next door to the Lónsá guesthouse, and only about 2 km from the town centre — close enough that supermarkets and other services are a quick hop away. The camping itself is straightforward and roomy, with space for tents, folding campers and mobile homes. You get electricity, toilets, showers and somewhere to wash the dishes. There's no season listed, so check ahead before you count on it. But as a practical, easy-in-easy-out stop for anyone passing through or using Akureyri as a hub for the north, it does the job without fuss.

Book ahead in summer, especially near popular spots. Campsites fill up by late afternoon.
