Snorrastaðir
About
Snorrastaðir pairs a working farm with a campsite in Snæfellsnes, in a calm spot laced with walking paths — the most popular leads to the Eldborg volcanic crater. There's a shared common room with a basic kitchen, seating and Wi-Fi, and it's open all year. Book ahead or drop in.
The signature walk from here runs out to Eldborg, a volcanic crater, and it's the busiest of several trails threading the surrounding countryside. The setting is a quiet Snæfellsnes farm, so camping comes with a bit of rural calm. Pitches split into two zones: Zone A has no electricity, while Zone B offers hook-ups — worth checking availability when you book, as power is limited. A shared common room gives you a basic kitchen, seating and Wi-Fi, though you'll need to bring your own utensils. The site stays open year-round, and there's a dedicated area set aside for people camping to watch the 2026 solar eclipse. Toilets and showers cover the essentials.
Book ahead in summer, especially near popular spots. Campsites fill up by late afternoon.
