About

A simple campsite at Skörður in Vesturbyggð, in the southern Westfjords. Facilities are pared back to the essentials: toilets, cold water, wheelchair access, walking paths and a waste-disposal point for motorhomes. Dogs are allowed on a leash.

There isn't much on record for the campsite at Skörður, so here's what we can say for certain. It sits in Vesturbyggð, in the southern part of the Westfjords. The facilities are basic and honest: toilets, cold water, and a waste-disposal point for motorhomes. The site is wheelchair accessible, and walking paths run from it if you want to stretch your legs. Dogs are welcome as long as they stay on a leash. Beyond that, we'd rather not invent detail we don't have. If you're touring the Westfjords and need a straightforward place to stop, this is one — light on frills, but it covers the essentials.

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