Camp Egilsstadir

auto-translated: Unfortunately not recommended for spontaneous travellers - we had our pitch right next to a factory and very far away from the toilets. The site was very crowded, but the wide cells meant you had peace and quiet.

auto-translated: We pitched our tents (campers) there for two nights. There are several zones (A, B, C and in winter still D) for campers and a separate place for tents. On Saturday and Sunday was "only" online booking possible (via QR code you are directed to the appropriate page). With the booking you also have to decide for a pitch (eg zone "B" with pitch "19"). The booking system also displays a map with the zones and free and occupied pitches. However, after booking the first day, we noticed that in zone B the distribution of pitches 16-19 did not clearly match the pitches on the map in the booking system. In some cases, the pitch numbers were also missing. Therefore, our tip: Before booking, drive a round of the campsite and select a free pitch with a visible number and book immediately (best to scan the QR code beforehand and make the booking on the pitch).

Over the weekend, the office was unfortunately not staffed (in emergencies, a facility manager who is on site, but can be quite helpful). Then only the contact by phone helps.

In the campground building we found three washing machines and dryers each. Price in each case 800 ISK (with 100 ISK coins). Exchange in coins either at the manned office or in the hostel next door.

The campsite is also the starting point for the shipping in Seydisfjördur (on Tuesday, as is known, the ferry arrives there). Therefore, it can be a bit crowded already from Sunday evening.

Very comfortable atmosphere and a great layout outside. Super suggested
