Places you might want to visit like the waterfall Hengifoss, the amazing Stuðlagil Canyon, and Vök Baths are easily found and within 1-hour drive from our Campsite. For the last few years, Camp Egilsstaðir has been able to provide one of the best camping services which include 24/7 open facilities where guests can access bathrooms, showers, washing and drying machines, and more. The campground is also popular in the off-seasons as it is open all year round, 24/7. To improve your Camp Egilsstaðir experience we have made our facilities more accessible and spacious. In 2022 our kitchen facilities have been expanded so you can choose now between cooking outdoors and indoors, in the common room. We have now more toilet facilities and the large common room is open 24/7! From 2021 you can book and pay for your stay online which is very important to do in high season. In low season it is also possible to pay with a card in our self-service pose or with cash in our honesty box if the reception is closed. Come and stay at our campground on your way around Iceland. It is also probably the happiest campsite in the country! Prices for the campsite can be found here on Camp Egilsstaðir website and you can also reserve your spot by booking online.

Horseback riding is at the heart of Finnsstaðir’s offerings. The farm provides well-trained Icelandic horses known for their excellent temperament and clear, well-beated tölt.
