About

In the middle of Sauðárkrókur, right by the swimming pool, this campsite puts shops, banks, museums and cafés within a short walk. A newer service house has showers, toilets, hot water and good accessible access, with electricity and mobile-home waste disposal on site. Open May to October.

The pitch is convenience: you're camped beside the town pool with shops, banks, restaurants, cafés and museums all a few minutes' walk away. If you like having services on your doorstep, this is that kind of site. A newer service building handles showers, toilets, and hot and cold water, with solid accessibility. A washing machine and dryer are there too — just ask the wardens. Electricity and mobile-home waste disposal are available. One handy perk: the campsites at Varmahlid, Sauðárkrókur and Hofsos work together, so keep your receipt for a day discount at the others. The season runs from the start of May to the start of October, and a swimming pool, golf and fishing are all close.

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