About

Stykkishólmur's campsite is open all year and sits inside the town, a short walk from shops, a bakery, a fuel station and the swimming pool. A nine-hole golf course is right next door, and free outdoor showers are on site. It's a handy base for exploring the Snæfellsnes Peninsula.

Being open year-round and sitting inside the town are the two things that make this one useful. Shops, restaurants, a bakery, a fuel station and the swimming pool are all a short walk away, and a self-service payment station means you can check in on your own schedule. Free outdoor showers are on site, though plenty of guests simply use the pool a few minutes away. A nine-hole golf course sits right beside the campsite, with clubs to rent. It's a solid base for Snæfellsnes: boat trips around Breiðafjörður Bay, the crossing to Flatey Island, local museums, and the wide views from Súgandisey are all on the doorstep.

Camping cards can save you money if you're spending multiple nights in the tent. Do the math.
