"Great location in a small valley basin - The site boasts an exceptionally beautiful location. It is accessible with all 2WD vehicles. The sanitary facilities are simple, but clean and warm.

"Fantastic location, two completely different nights - We spent two nights at this campsite in August. The approach via the 214 was no problem with a "normal" VW Multivan in summer. The long journey keeps you on site. I would no longer call Thakgil an "insider tip". Night 1: a huge group of young Go campers partied loudly in the cave until after 1am. The sanitary facilities were in a very unclean state after this night. Night 2: the anticipated peace and quiet. Heavenly. The three signposted hikes are also highly recommended.

"Insider tip! One of the most beautiful campsites in Iceland - On our way along the south coast, we spent two nights in Þakgil, near Vik. Just getting there from Route 1 is great. There are so many fantastic views. A 4x4 vehicle is ideal for the gravel road, but a "normal" car is also fine. However, it's almost impossible to get there without a car. Possibly by hitchhiking. Then you can reach the campsite through a majestic gorge. The location is remote, but that's why it's perfect (for us). It's very quiet there, no car noise. The sanitary facilities are fairly new and were always very clean for us. The setting is fantastic, surrounded by picturesque mountains. There was plenty of space for everyone, both for tents and campervans/caravans. The lady at the campsite reception was super nice and gave us lots of help and tips for hikes. In bad weather, there is a cave where candles are lit and there are benches and tables. You can eat there or sit and play cards. Outside there are barbecues that you can use. This campsite is ideal for relaxing, but also as a starting point for hikes up to Mýrdalsjökull. I could have stayed there longer.

"Simply beautiful! - After a spectacular journey, we were glad to finally reach our destination... and found ourselves in an almost mystical valley, surrounded by rugged mountains, a waterfall and a gorge that was perfect for hiking. For us, this was the most beautiful place during our camping stay. We received a very friendly welcome. The sanitary facilities were clean, there is a drying room and even a cave as a lounge area. Unbeatable!
