RV / Motorhome Camping in Iceland

Snow, sleet, squalls, wind – all in a week’s experience RVing in Iceland. You also get mountains, volcanoes, glaciers, icebergs, wild reindeer, puffins, waterfalls, Icelandic horses, black beaches, lava fields, geothermal steam vents and boiling mud, hot springs and more breath-taking awe inspiring scenery than you have even seen before.

In early May, 2018 our family rented a 24’ motorhome (an LMC Breezer H737G) to drive Iceland's Ring Road. McRent staff picked us up at the Keflavik airport - minutes later we were at their offices for our orientation - within two hours we were ready to hit the road.

We headed inland on Day 1, to Geysir, but our first stop was at Bonus, Iceland's largest chain of grocery stores, to provision. You'll recognize the Bonus stores by their unusual logo - it looks like a drunken pig. That's not meant as a knock...but seriously, that's exactly what it looks like. It's actually rather endearing.

A quick note on the weather - it changes fast and often. Blinding squalls followed by bright sun were common, and most days the wind rarely stopped blowing. High winds are taken seriously in Iceland and there are automated signs along the route telling you if it's safe to drive a particular section of the highway.

Camping the first night was at Uthlid Camping Ground. The main campground was still snow covered but they allowed the four or five campers seeking a spot for the night to park behind their restaurant, plug into their electric and use their washrooms. We enjoyed a nice meal in the restaurant with a few other hardy campers from Europe. Note: Our RV was self-contained but many of the camper vehicles rented in Iceland are smaller vans with basic sleeping accommodations and the campgrounds have a communal kitchen for preparing food.

Day 2 began with a visit to Gulfoss Falls and ended at Skogafoss Falls. It was also the start of our 1400 km trip around Iceland's Route 1, the Ring Road. Gulfoss is huge....and amazing - and you can camp right at the falls at Skogafoss. Both locations also have a restaurant.

Before arriving at Skogafoss we detoured for a hike (about 4-5 kms each way) to the site of a US Navy plane that crash-landed in 1973 on a black sand beach. Blinding squalls blew in and we were happy for the markers that deliniated the path. The shiny aluminum skin of the DC 3 is juxtaposed against the black beach and attracts photographers from around the globe.

Day 3 we visited the Jokulsarlon Glacier Iceberg Lagoon and encountered a wild reindeer herd as we headed to Djupivogur - a picturesque port town. The campground in Djupivogur is right in town with terraced sites overlooking the harbour and distant mountain range. Check-in was done at the Hotel Framtid.

Day 4 saw us heading to Egilsstadir with side trips to Seydisfjordur, a beautiful sea town where a ferry from Denmark arrives once/week, and Borgarfjordur eystri, a tiny seaside village to see Puffins. This is a very mountainous area: the road to see the Puffins was unpaved and climbed up and over a mountain range. It was an 'interesting' drive in a 24' motorhome with a 4 cyl diesel engine - but we'd do it again in a heartbeat. Note: we had to wait about 30 minutes before the Puffins started to come ashore to their nests - until then they spent their time on the ocean. During our visit in May this meant the best time to see them was around 5PM.

The campground in Egilsstadir is right in town. When we were there it was an honour-pay system requiring cash to pay.

Day 5 we headed towards Akureyri. This part of north east Iceland is very remote. The Geothermal area at Hverarond is a must see. Boiling mud pits and hissing steam vents with volcanoes and mountains as a backdrop - amazing.

Akureyri, the 'Capital of the North' is only about 100 kms from the Arctic Circle. Its a pretty town with some nice shops and restaurants, and yes, Iceland is as expensive as you've probably heard. The campground in Akureyri, Camping Hamrar, is large and well serviced.

Day 6 was the longest drive of the journey as we headed to the 'Vesterland'. Kirkjufell Mountain alone was worth the drive. Amazing. Taking pictures there was a challenge thanks to the constant 60Km winds, gusting to 90, but it was beautiful. Olafsvik Campsite is just outside of town and within walking distance if the weather is decent or the winds aren't howling. The RV shook all night long, buffeted by the wind.

Day 7 broke calmer and we drove through Snaefellsjokull National Park. Lava fields and seaside formations were fantastic in this area.

We spent the last night in the RV at Campsite Grindavik - a 15 minute drive from Keflavik and the RV rental company (McRent) where we returned the motor home the next morning. This campsite was busier...but convenient.

Our last few days were spent at Hotel Kvosin in Reykjavik - a beautiful city with much to see and explore.

Remarkable, incredible rugged beauty - Iceland by RV is fantastic!

Exploring Iceland with the DJI Mavic Pro / Summer 2017

Some of the footage I shot with my DJI Mavic Pro in Iceland this summer. Weather and conditions shut me down often. But when it was good, I took to the sky with the Mavic to capture the spectacular landscape. The Maviv did not disappoint!

Top locations in Iceland: Golden Circle

The Golden Circle is a 300 kilometre (186 mile) route to the three most popular natural attractions in Iceland: the Geysir Geothermal Area, Gullfoss Waterfall and Þingvellir National Park.

This sightseeing trail is easy to do within half a day from Reykjavík, either by self-drive or on one of many tours. Some of these tours have additional activities, such as snorkelling or snowmobiling, or are conducted in a unique style, such as by helicopter, or under the midnight sun.

Within the three locations of the Golden Circle are some of the clearest examples of Iceland’s fascinating geological forces, magnificent landscapes, and rich culture.

Our Iceland Honeymoon May 2019

This is a compilation compilation of shots from our 10 days in Iceland this May

Black House - Iceland

The Black House is named for its moody interiors and the 19th-century-style timber house sits at the base of mount Hafnarfjall on Iceland’s western Snaefellsnes Peninsula. It’s driving distance from Reykjavik and nestles within the silent landscape of fjords and volcanic peaks that mark this stretch of the island’s coastline. Icelandic designer Rut Káradóttir crafted the A-frame property’s blue-hued interiors, mixing and matching contemporary design pieces with antiques and rustic furnishings.

ICELAND BLUE LAGOON

ICELAND BLUE LAGOON


Iceland's most popular visitor attraction, the Blue Lagoon is a giant bathtub that pools six million litres of geothermal seawater from 2000 metres beneath the earth's surface. By the time it reaches the lagoon, the mineral-rich milky, aqua blue waters simmer at temperatures between 37 and 39°C. In addition to the lagoon, there's a sauna, steam bath carved out of a lava cave and a massaging waterfall. A shop, café and viewing deck keeps spectators amused.
Where: In a lava field in Grindavik on the Reykjanes Peninsula, on Iceland's south-west coast, 45 minutes from Reykjavik, the country's capital and 25 minutes from Keflavik Airport.

Iceland - Blue Lagoon

The most famous lagoon in Iceland, the Blue Lagoon and it's geothermal waters are the perfect place to unwind from a day of adventure around the island.

The Blue Lagoon is one of Iceland’s most popular attractions. The geothermal waters and black volcanic rocks create startling scenery that is truly unique to Iceland. The water is full of minerals, silica and algae and is especially good for the skin and relaxation. In addition to soaking and swimming in the pool, the Blue Lagoon offers in-water massage treatments, saunas and steam rooms and access to a cafe. A few hours of relaxation soaking in the Blue Lagoon is essential to any Iceland visit, and its location between Reykjavik and the airport makes it an easy addition to any trip.
