Do I need to pre-book my stay at the campsite?
We strongly encourage reserving ahead as space at the campsite is limited, particularly in the summer months. Booking online gets you a 10% discount and by reserving ahead you will have your access code upon arrival. This allows you to enter the campsite and use our facilities without delay, ensuring a smooth check-in process.

Check-in is from 1 pm. Check-out time is until 11 am. Late arrival for camping is not a problem but we recommend pre-booking.

What do you recommend doing in the area?
- Soak in the hot geothermal pool next door. The Laugardalslaug Pool opens early in the morning and stays open till late. It is particularly child-friendly with water slides and numerous hot pools.
- Discover Skúbb; the best ice cream & sorbet in Reykjavík just around the corner- all hand-made using local organic milk and seasonal flavors. Pssst, the mango is an absolute treat.
- For a meal or coffee, Kaffi Laugalækur is a great spot close by. This local café offers vegan and vegetarian dishes.
- We recommend a visit to the Ásmundarsafn sculpture museum nearby as well. It’s a beautiful building with contemporary displays and a sculpture garden.
- In the summer, you can take a ferry to Viðey Island, amid Faxaflói Bay. The ferry takes off from the harbor close by.
