Highland Base Kerlingarfjöll - Reviews

The place is renovated in 2022. Huge construction site and no camping facilities!

auto-translated: Top location of the facility and also starting point for great hiking. Bad smell due to the sewage treatment plant, the distance to the sanitary facilities is a piece due to the hilly arrangement. Unfortunately, these are also no longer very nice.

auto-translated: Wonderfully situated with interesting hiking possibilities. Comparatively expensive (5000 ISK 2 persons). Sanitary facilities rather sparse (1 working shower, 1 broken, ...). Larger kitchen with cold water sink and 4 large beer benches. Kitchen house unfortunately a bit off the beaten track, the toilets are in the basement of the biggest house, so it's also a certain walk from the tent meadows or parking lots. Many Finnhütten and restaurant.

auto-translated: This campground is located in the middle of the mountains, 4x4 is a must to get here to the highlands. Access relatively easy, no river crossings. The CAMPINGCARD is NOT VALID because the place is in the Highland. An overnight stay costs about 20€ per person (Attention, here not per camper tent but per person!).

The accommodation offers several rentable cottages, campground on the other side of the river, campground for motorhomes on the main complex. There is also a kitchen and a restaurant.

Hot showers and toilets available, they are cleaned daily between 10 and 12 o'clock (morning). During this time there is a "replacement toilet", namely the (not lockable) wheelchair-accessible (?) disabled toilet.

Operating staff very friendly and multilingual.

For the remote place we give 4 stars for price performance.
