Campingcard Q&A

Do I need to book space for the camping sites?

No, in Iceland you don‘t have to book a space. It is enough to simply arrive and set up camp, or register first if this is required.

What if the camping site is fully booked?

This rarely happens, but mostly if the weather is very bad in other places around the country and campers flock towards the good weather. If you feel this might be the case, we recommend calling ahead. The telephone numbers are in our pamphlet and on the website.
