Skaftafell campsite

Skaftafell

Vatnajökull National Park campsite, perfectly positioned for glacier exploration. Large, well-organized site with good facilities by Icelandic standards. Walking distance to multiple glacier tongues (Svínafellsjökull, Skaftafellsjökull). The hike to Svartifoss waterfall starts right from camp. Longer trails lead deep into the glacier region. Hot showers, toilets, cooking shelters. A visitor center with info and a small cafe. This is proper infrastructure compared to remote highland sites. Popular and busy in summer - arrive early for the best spots. But even when full, the campsite doesn't feel cramped. The glaciers provide endless entertainment.

Þakgil campsite

Þakgil

Hidden canyon campsite near Vík. One of Iceland's most memorable camping spots, tucked into a moss-covered canyon with towering cliffs on all sides. Basic facilities but incredible setting. Sheltered from wind by the canyon walls. Small huts available if you want a roof. The drive in is rough (check conditions) but the reward is worth it. From here you can hike to dramatic viewpoints, explore caves, and feel completely removed from the Ring Road crowds just 20 minutes away. Popular with photographers for the strange green canyon light. Book ahead in summer - this place has become famous on Instagram, so word is out. Bring everything you need; there's no shop nearby.

Landmannalaugar

The colorful highland hot spring campsite. Rainbow rhyolite mountains, natural hot pools, and world-class hiking. This is Iceland's most famous highland destination for a reason. The campsite sits right by the hot springs - soak in geothermal water with mountain views. Facilities are basic but functional. A small hut sells snacks and basics, but bring your own food. The Laugavegur trail to Þórsmörk starts here - one of the world's great multi-day hikes. Day hikes to Brennisteinsalda (sulfur mountain) and Bláhnúkur (blue peak) are equally rewarding. Getting here requires F-road driving with river crossings. Highland buses are the smart option if you're not equipped. Open roughly June-September depending on conditions.
