Egilsstaðir Camping site

At first glance, it might seem like a 4-star campsite. But upon closer inspection, it's quite disappointing. On the plus side: its location on the edge of the campsite is fairly quiet. The pitches are adequately sized, and you have both paved and grassy areas. The facilities are quite comprehensive, including washing facilities. On the downside: It's expensive. That would be tolerable, it's Iceland after all! However, the sanitary facilities are really filthy, as are the washing-up areas.

The campsite is well laid out on a grassy area, with clearly marked and level pitches (you're assigned a pitch, you don't choose it, but it doesn't matter in my opinion!). The facilities are excellent: a large communal room for preparing meals and chatting with other campers, clean toilets and showers, and even a laundry area. The place is quiet, like many campsites in Iceland.

We arrived well in time and there was plenty of room, but we were placed in an inner corner of the campsite. Later, four other campers parked next to us. The noses of the cars were a meter apart. Make sure you don't end up on the A13 to A17.
