Reykjavík Eco Campsite

Great campsite, close to Reykjavík. Great price for the location. Good bathroom facilities and shared kitchen. Lots of helpful signage. A Paved parking spot for our camper van was a welcome change after many muddy sites that week. Grass area available as well for tents, though we did spot a few small campervans parked there as well. BYO lock so you can use their complementary lockers with outlets inside! Find these in the common kitchen. We didn't have a lock, so we didn't feel comfortable leaving our electronics unlocked to charge unattended overnight. The smart campers who brought a lock were lucky indeed! We visited in September. We booked ahead (the only time in 10 nights we did this) and easily entered the campsite and all amenities with our assigned code. Paved lot was fairly full, though grass lot had lots of empty space.

Fantastic campground right in the city. It took me about 45 minutes to walk downtown. I loved the pool just down the road (so many hot tubs). The campground has fantastic facilities - kitchen, eating area, dish washing area, laundry and great washrooms with showers.

Great city based campsite. Super close walk (less than 10 minutes) to a grocery store and a few restaurants. The washrooms are warm and the shower water was usually warm. There’s loads of people in and out of here so the washrooms aren’t 5 stars but they’re fairly clean. The kitchen area is great with a little shelf full of free food from other campers. Good wifi in the common area and lots of charging sites. Close to a pool. The hostel happy hour is pretty good too. A bit pricey at 7250 ISK for two people and a small campervan per night in August 2025 but very convenient.

The only reason I did not rate the room is that we stayed in a camper van. The eco site was amazing and exactly the kind of place we needed when exploring the beautiful landscapes of Iceland. The staff were helpful and always willing to answer questions. I loved the option to do laundry and cook on something other than the stove provided by the camper van rental. The campsite cat made me extremely happy to see and provided a welcoming homelike feel.

This is a very large campsite and hostel a few kilometres from the city centre of Reykjavik. There are two zones (A & B) with different combinations of tent, camper and RV zones with and without electricity. You can make stay reservations online to reserve around a 10% discount. Both zones share a large communal area with toilets, (free) showers, cooking area as well as indoor and outdoor seating. ||There is a separate toilet and shower facility in the back of Zone B. You'll find a Fish & Chips food truck on the Zone B grounds as well as a bar and eatery called Dalur at the hostel also found north side of the campsite grounds. ||Campsite space is large, Zone A is lot style with vehicles parked next to each other in several rows. Zone B is a large grass area for tents and vehicle park space on the sides. ||You can walk to the main sightseeing area of Reykjavik in around 30-40 minutes. There are a couple public bus lines that do pick-up/drop-off not terribly far from the grounds as well. There is a small Krambúðin supermarket around 500 metre walk and a larger Bonus and Netto probably 1.5 km away. ||Overall, we found our stay at the Reykjavik Campsite to be pretty good. It is a good place to start or stop your longer trip around the country. We'll probably do so again next time we can visit Iceland.

Best camping I’ve stayed in Iceland regarding the facilities. Large, heated common indoor space, cooking opportunities, lots of sinks, enough toilets and showers (included in the price and no staying in lines, maybe because we used the ones in the back of the site, not the most popular ones next to the common space). There are more intimate, idillic campsites closer to nature with epic views, but I’ve never stayed at a more comfortable one, so I could only recommend this, especially if you are at the end of your trip and craving some comfort.

Loved the shelf to leave leftover food- prevents waste. If coming there is lots of salt and cooking oil. Good location, glad we could make reservations! Close to a lot of great attractions

The campground has good facilities, but unfortunately, our experience wasn’t great. It’s very large and gets extremely crowded, making it hard to find a spot for the camper. The showers and bathrooms were not clean, which was disappointing. It might be due to the high demand the place has, but the cleanliness really needs improvement.
