Camp Egilsstadir - Reviews

Sanitary facilities were less than ideal, otherwise ok

auto-translated: I arrived here late in the evening. There was still a space available between 10 other tents. Reception is manned until 11.00 pm and was very helpful. Hot shower and heating are great. It was quiet at night. Overall it was very full.

auto-translated: I pitched my tent here for 2 days and wasn't very impressed with the campsite. This area is too small in my opinion. I could imagine that it would get too full in the summer and you wouldn't get any more space. Only online reservation was possible, otherwise it costs 500 ISK extra. The sanitary facilities are fine and everything else is well maintained and clean.

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

auto-translated: central place in town, nothing special but plenty of space, showers included, only online booking otherwise 500 ISK extra during opening hours. Online booking at parka.is Washing machine and dryer are available. Sanitary facilities are also in order.

Booking your spot online doesn’t work, our spot was already taken when we arrived! Everything else was fine, it’s right next to a street but that didn’t really bother us that much.
It’s nice to have the possibility to wash your clothes but that costs extra (cash).
7/10

Designated parking spots, you have to book and pay online for. Nice main building with kitchen area and a sitting room, washer/dryer, bathrooms. Very much hostel feeling instead of campground feeling (in a positive way :-)) Coffee machine if you fancy a coffee or tea (not included, extra costs)

During this time of year, it is very quiet and not too busy.
There are huge amounts of facilities available to guests, unlike I have ever seen.
Washing machines can be used, pots, pans, cutlery, dishes etc are all free to use.

Easy booking process (do keep in mind, you have to complete this online), and nothing bad to say about this.

Would wholeheartedly recommend this place!

ALL SPOTS FOR ALL CAMPING UNITS MUST BE BOOKED AND PAID ONLINE! If you have a problem with the booking process or all spots are taken please contact our reception for available spots in Zone E which are not bookable in our booking system.

Very large facility... which was full when we arrived! Fortunately we were allowed to stay on the opposite site of the road. Excellent facilities including washing machines, which are apparently very busy all the time. although it feels a little crowded everywhere, the staff was incredibly nice and helpful, including over the phone.

Nice camsite. You pay 2000 isk per person (wc and showers included). Wc and showers are new and clean, showers are not time limited and there was plenty of hot water. Kitchen is small and there are just 3 little tables to sit with your meal. In the kitchen is a kettle, microwave and lots of pots and pan free to use. But you have to cook outside.
