We do not accept reservations, but the campground is large and there is always plenty of space!
There are two service houses at the campsite. In one house, you can find toilets, a wheelchair-accessible toilet, and showers. In the other house, there is a dining room with tables and benches, electrical outlets for small devices, and cooking facilities.
At the campsite, there is waste disposal for caravans and campers, garbage bins, and a bin for bottles and cans. A recycling center is near the campsite, and it is open from 08:00 - 16:00.
The campsite is located at the foot of a rocky hill, which is said to be the home of elves. There are paths that go around it and to the top, where there is a panoramic viewpoint. This rocky hill is called Álfaborg and is a protected area. If you believe in elves, this is an interesting place to visit, the elves do not mind guests as long as you respect their home.
If you listen closely enough to the rocks, you might hear them
Behind the campground, there is a disc golf course which is free to use. Disc golf discs are available to borrow at the reception.
In Borgarfjörður Eystri, there are plenty of beautiful hiking trails into the fjords and the mountains, starting right next to the campsite. The village itself also offers many options for activities and local events during the summer season. And of course, the largest puffin colony in the country is only 5 minutes away from the campsite!
