Camping Höfn

I intentionally drove an hour more to get here as I had a schedule that I wanted to follow but I was disappointed with the facility. It is spacious but the bathrooms are very far from the camping areas. There are no electric or gas stoves provided by the camping facility. They only have an electric kettle and a stove. You have to pay for showers. There are two different showers. This is important. The unlimited showers are 300 ISK but they close at 10pm. The 3 minute hot water shower (100 ISK per 3 mins) is open all night. You can buy the coins at the counter which was helpful. The staff was friendly but I just feel like the facility can be better. There are not enough seating areas where you can sit and eat.

Stayed here just for one night. There is a common room with just water boiler and microwave. No kitchen at all. You need to wash the dishes outside. Inside the common room there are bathrooms with showers (which are 6 mins / ISK 200). There are two yellow boxes outside with a WC and a sink and for ISK 100 more, you get a key from the reception which allows you to enter a warm room with hot unlimited shower (well, actually hot water comes and go). Overall nice camping, but I wouldn’t stay more than one night.

Good camping spot, decent facilities. The showers are paid, either for 3-6 min or you can buy an unlimited option for reasonable prices. I don't think they had any stoves available so it is convenient to have your own camping stove with you.

We found the campsite to be very functional, efficient and busy. It was wet, windy and misty, so just needed a place to hunker down for the night and get some laundry done (launderette at the harbour). The shower and toilet arrangements were fine, clean tidy and with an unlimited length shower option available (good for teenager). Apart from washing a few dishes, I kept away from the shared kitchen as it was a bit crowded. Seemed okay though

I was a bit disappointed with this campsite. Even though it’s big and generally good, there are quite a few limitations: 1. Be careful and bring your own gas for cooking – there’s only a microwave and toasters available. 2. Showers are not free (100–200 ISK for just 3–6 minutes). 3. The dining/eating area is too small for the number of guests.

Good facilities, there are laundry machines and toilets and showers are decent, though the communal kitchen is small and gets super busy at dinner time. But note that this campsite saves **many** of the lots close to the facilities for campers with electricity, so if you don’t need electricity you will likely be assigned a lot that is very far from the toilets. They will ask you to book and pay for your lot online (and the online system will offer you the furthest lots) even if you go to the reception, but you can try asking in person if they have any closer lots available if you want to be closer to the facilities.

The yellow containers with the showers are ONLY for cabin guests, if you’re camping there is only one paid shower for mens and women each. Prepare for long lines esp in the evening when people start pulling in for the evening/night. Washroom situation is fine. Nice views from back of campground and is fairly spacious, at least for when we were here which was on a Sunday in early August.

Only one gross looking shower each for men and women. Lines form after 6pm. It’s definitely not as clean or nice as the Vik campsite. If you have to camp here for the night, skip using the showers. Overall it’s an old looking campsite and I would only recommend if you absolutely have to stay in Hofn.
