Skaftafell Camping - Reviews

auto-translated: Very popular campsite.

The price is above average, but the fee for the national park is included, as well as showers, washing machines and the like. However, the washing machines are permanently occupied and you have to queue for ages.

There is no kitchen or lounge.

However, the surroundings are great and you can be at the glacier in 2 kilometres.

auto-translated: Super campsite in a beautiful natural setting. Everything is included in the price. The site and the surrounding area are very popular, so the site fills up even in the low season. In the cold season, the kitchen with washing-up facilities is certainly missing, but at the moment there is only a camper van anyway.

auto-translated: Beautiful surroundings with many hiking opportunities. Clean sanitary facilities. Use of washing machine & tumble dryer included, but very popular (we washed early in the morning without queuing). National park entrance fee included. Check in at the counter before entering.

Was crowded as sections were blocked off for grass regrowth at time of visit

4.333 ISK Camper plus electricity One Night.

Loved this camp site and will come back. Trail head was right at camp site B where we parked our camper van. They have a food truck nearby which serves up hot meals and coffee. Visitor center was clean and easy to find. Bathrooms were good but after the shower there was no specific place to dry your hair and stuff so we had to plug into the wall in the bathroom and there was only one plug (women’s bathroom) the showers were good, bring your own shampoo and body wash and be prepared to use a squeegee on the floor after. My shower stall was missing hooks so I had to put my clean stuff on the stool they provide and my used clothes on the end of the stick for the squeegee. All other stalls were in use - I hope the others have hooks.

auto-translated: Beautiful well-kept campsite, very much space, the large sanitary block in the middle of the site is clean , 8 showers 4 each for ladies and gentlemen are included in the price , great walks from the campsite. Register in the Info Center ,there is also a self-service restaurant.

auto-translated: great hiking trails. Washing machine free of charge

auto-translated: Beautiful facility with clean sanitary facilities, but there are unfortunately too few showers and toilets.

auto-translated: Everything top and perfect starting point for hikes of very different duration and requirements.

Very large can ground next to multiple hiking paths leading to glaciers and waterfalls.
Lot of space with trees between the areas making the camp very pleasant. Excellent and modern facilities (toilets, showers and a free washing machine/dryer). Staying overnight also waived the parking cost. One of the best cam ground I have visited in Iceland.

auto-translated: Large campsite with great surroundings. Modern sanitary facilities, but unfortunately too few toilets and showers for the size of the campsite. Shower water changes between warm, hot and ice-cold...unfortunately mostly ice-cold. Shop and cafeteria of the Natiaonalpark next to the campsite.

Great spot with many hiking trails. Modern and relatively clean facilties (toilets, showers, laundry), but insufficient in numbers for the size of the campsite. On the expensive side (1750 per person for the first night + 500 per site), but this includes the showers and the parking for the national park. Would come back!

A big campground with modern bath rooms in the middle.
