Vik Camping - Reviews

auto-translated: Very nice campsite with a very large kitchen house. Everything is very clean, it is cleaned several times a day.

auto-translated: The friendly manager personally looked after our pitch and was really nice. Helped us personally with the washing machine. Flat gravel pitch. Partly surrounded by small trees - so somewhat sheltered from the wind. View of the famous little church. Very large shopping centre nearby. Small swimming pool in the village with sauna. Ideal place to sit out a rainy day.

auto-translated: Very busy, so campers parked close together. Walking distance to the village with supermarket, restaurants, Black Sand Beach. Clean.

Shared showers, plenty of room though

auto-translated: There are 3 x 2 hobs, but only induction hobs.

auto-translated: The camping site is opposite the registration centre, directly on a beautiful meadow by the rock where birds have their nests. The sanitary facilities are about 50 metres away.

auto-translated: Super clean site with large space for all campers to cook. The location is also very quiet, love to come back!

We came later in the evening so had to park our camper van close to the bathrooms. Don’t do what we did, try and look for other spots away from them. We kept hearing the hand drier throughout the night. Bonus was it was clean. We were just too tired to do anything about it. It was relatively easy to find and there is a gas station + grocery store close by which was nice. All we did was park, sleep and leave early morning so I don’t have much else to say about what was around other than the Reynisdrangar are close by which is a stunning sight.

Kitchen area with only 2 stoves, a little small for the whole campground and a little cold in May (was not heated). New shower area, very nice and warm, but one big shower room for 4 persons, no privacy and not included. 300 ISK for 5 minutes.

auto-translated: With small playground.shopping not far.nice common room

auto-translated: Beautiful large facility. Nice cafe. Vik is generally highly recommended.

auto-translated: We stayed at Vík twice one night. The first time neither in the evening nor in the morning the reception, which is located in the half of the Rondell house, was occupied. On this evening also all power points were occupied.
The 2nd time we paid 4000 ISK for three adults for one night, we did not need electricity.
The sanitary facilities are very clean and modern.
There is free fresh water and a disposal station.
Behind the camping site there is a discarded school bus, which was converted by a native English woman into a café with its own roasting plant: The best coffee I've ever had!!
The Black-Sand-Beach is less than 10 minutes walk away.
However, the other side of the Black Beach headland is even more interesting, as many puffins nest there.
There is a good supermarket, several gas stations and a very expensive IceWear shop.

All in all I would come back again and again!

auto-translated: A rather large camping site which was nevertheless full. Everything very clean and well equipped. Unfortunately we had very night active Icelandic neighbours.

This camping is very well adapted for tents: there is a cliff against north Winds and many trees all around. there are also plenty of place for camping-car. Only default is the collective showers (300 isk for 5 min furthemore).

Die Sanitäranlagen waren sehr sauber und geräumig. Die Duschen kosten 300 ISK für 5 Minuten.
Der Gemeinschaftsraum war groß genug und gemütlich mit einer kleinen Küchenniesche.

The camp is located near the sea and very windy. Camping was possible between some bushes. The sitting room has about 15 tables which were mostly occupied. Showers cost 300 for 5 minutes.

auto-translated: Vik Camping is very conveniently located on the way from southwest to southeast and vice versa. Accordingly, the campsite is full and pragmatic. It is very huge and was also very crowded in the low season.

There are completely new sanitary facilities, which are very good. This is to be recommended to those who set a high value on it. There are also washing and drying facilities. 5 minutes showers cost 3x100 ISK.

The overnight stay was the most expensive of our trip with 1750 per person, even if the 333 ISK tax was already included. There is a house with seating and basic kitchen equipment. Unfortunately this was renovated during our visit and was therefore closed. In addition, construction work was carried out until 9 o'clock in the evening. Nevertheless we had to pay the full price.

We found perhaps the most beautiful place, with a view of the great bird cliffs, that compensated us. The site is very suitable for people who value high-quality sanitary facilities and like company. There is also electricity and the possibility to empty and clean camp toilets.

We prefer smaller toilets with less perfect requirements like a simple shower or no shower at all and a cosy atmosphere instead.
