"Very expensive and poorly maintained - The negative points are all there: excessive prices, no maintenance, no conviviality...

"Worst campsite in Iceland - I stayed here 4 nights last April. As it was the most expensive park of all and in the capital, we thought it would be a good park, but on the contrary it was the worst campsite in all of Iceland. The website says that it is cheaper for those who book online, but there is no other alternative, as there is no one responsible in the park. Even if someone wants to complain about something, they will have to do it via email or by phone and there are issues that are not resolved that way. Despite all the security, with codes provided via email after paying, we found a drunk homeless man, who entered the kitchen because someone opened the door and in addition to sleeping there, he left everything dirty, in true chaos. The cleaning was done by two ladies, who cleaned everything in less than an hour and obviously nothing was very clean, because immediately afterwards I went to the shower and under the benches there were piles of garbage and even underwear that had fallen there. Maintenance also has not been done for a long time, because there were showers and toilets that didn't work, clogged drains that cause flooding of water in the bathroom, a sign in the laundry room saying that the machines were broken. Unfortunately, the image they leave is that they only look at tourists as a source of money, instead of worrying about their well being. They have a lot to learn from the Grindavik campsite, for me the best park in Iceland.

"CP close to the city - Good location for a stroll through the city, about 35 minutes on foot. Very friendly staff, free wifi. Good accommodation for tent campers. However, also the most expensive CP on my trip to Iceland.

" - Typical city campsite with good infrastructure, friendly, helpful staff, reception in the HS open 24 hours, therefore also busy at night, but peace and quiet is ensured. Sanit. Facilities more or less clean depending on time of day. Swimming pool approx. 3 min. walk away. Ideally situated for sightseeing Reykavik and the surrounding area. Bus stop at the campsite, approx. 15 min. to the center, as there are many small stores in the pedestrian zone. Be sure to visit the "glass harp" in the harbor area, the conference and concert hall and the Hallgrimmskirche with its 73 m tower, beautifully illuminated in the evening.

Directions

How to Get There Airport Transfer The Flybus and Airport Express from Keflavik International Airport drop passengers off at the Campsite on request. The Flybus and Airport Express also pick up passengers frequently during the day and drive them to …the International airport in time for their departure. Tickets can be bought at the campsite reception. From Keflavík Airport by Car The campsite sign is visible at several places on the ride from the airport. Drive road 41 to Reykjavík from the airport. When you enter the city, the name of the road changes to Hafnarfjarðarvegur and then to Kringlumýrarbraut. Keep driving on Kringlumýrarbraut almost to the end when you start seeing the sea at the end of the road. Then you turn right on Sundlaugavegur and drive 0,9 kilometres until you see the Campsite parking lot on your right hand side. See direction map here. City Bus Bus no. 14 stops on the other side of the road from the campsite. Bus no. 14 also stops close to the city center, the domestic airport and close to the main bus terminal, BSÍ. See further information about the Reykjavík city bus system here. In June, July and August there is a free direct bus service from the campsite to BSÍ bus terminal and to Harpa Concert Hall, for scheduled buses outside Reykjavík. These busses leave the campsite at 07:10. For further information, please contact the campsite reception. From Out of Town When coming to Reykjavík by car, you will most likely end up on the road Vesturlandsvegur where you take a right turn to Sæbraut. After 3 kilometres on Sæbraut you turn left on Dalbraut (there is a Olís gas station on the right hand side) which you drive to the end until you enter Sundlaugavegur and see the campsite. Walking from the Campsite Located only 3 kilometres from the city centre, it is easy to walk or ride on bicycles to town from the campsite. If you walk west of Sundlaugavegur until you come to the road crossing of Kringlumýrarbraut, you can turn right and walk by the seaside to the city centre (you should be able to see the Harpa concert hall at the end of the path).
