Camping Car Rental Iceland

If you're looking for an affordable way to explore Iceland's natural beauty, then camping car rental might just be the answer. The Icelandic landscape offers some stunning scenery, but if you don't know where to start, there are plenty of campsites around the country that offer everything from self-catering accommodation to luxury lodges. And while you'll find many campsites close to tourist attractions such as waterfalls and geysers, they're not always within easy reach of each other. So when you book your trip, think carefully about how far away you want to travel before booking your holiday. If you're planning to stay near Reykjavik, for instance, it makes sense to book a campground close to the city centre, rather than a remote spot out in the countryside. But even though you'll save money by staying closer to home, it's still worth considering taking advantage of the extra facilities offered at larger campsites. They often include swimming pools, saunas, tennis courts and children's play areas, making them great places to relax after a day exploring the local area. There are two main types of campsite in Iceland: traditional campsites and glamping sites. Traditional campsites tend to be located in rural areas, and feature basic amenities like showers and toilets. Glamping sites are generally smaller and quieter, offering fewer facilities but more privacy. Both types of campsite are suitable for tent camping, but glamping sites are often equipped with cabins or chalets that sleep between 2 and 6 people. In addition to these options, there are also caravan parks, hostels and hotels throughout Iceland.
