Discover the Best Season for Camper Travel in Iceland

Summer in Iceland (from June to August) is the ideal time for Iceland camper travel. The warmest months mean all roads are open, campsites are in full swing, and you even have the chance to see puffins in their natural habitat. Enjoy long daylight hours under the magical midnight sun, giving you plenty of time to explore breathtaking landscapes and iconic attractions.

Traveling in an Iceland RV or camper during the summer not only offers the freedom to visit remote locations but also helps you avoid overspending on separate accommodation and transportation. If you plan your trip wisely, you can even find off-peak deals by booking well in advance and staying flexible with your travel dates.

We do NOT recommend that you camp and stay in an Iceland camper during the winter time.

Tips For Traveling in an Iceland Camper

Traveling in a campervan in Iceland can be an incredible experience, one that offers freedom, flexibility, and the chance to truly immerse yourself in nature. Here are some tips to ensure your journey is smooth and enjoyable:

• Plan Your Route Wisely: Iceland’s Ring Road offers a fantastic way to see the country, but remember that not all areas are accessible by campervan. Stick to designated roads and campsites, especially if you’re not driving a 4×4. Avoid unmarked F-roads unless you have a vehicle that’s approved for those challenging terrains.

• Know Your Campervan: When choosing your Iceland camper or RV, consider your travel plans, group size, and luggage needs. If you’re venturing into remote areas or the highlands, a 4×4 campervan is highly recommended. For urban or summer trips along the Ring Road, a 2WD RV may be sufficient.

• Book Campsites in Advance: When you’re camping in Iceland you will need to stay in designated campsites. While summer offers plenty of open sites, it’s wise to plan ahead during peak travel times to secure your spot.

• Pack Smart: Remember that while campervans provide essential amenities like a kitchenette, sleeping area, and sometimes even a bathroom, they do have limited space. Bring only what you need and consider the weather. Layers, warm clothing, and rain gear are a must, no matter the season. Check out our Iceland packing list for tips.

• Embrace Flexibility: One of the best parts of traveling in an Iceland camper is the ability to change your plans on a whim. However, always check local weather and road conditions to avoid unexpected challenges, and stay updated with the latest forecasts from the Icelandic MET Office.

• Fuel Up and Stay Connected: Plan your Iceland fuel stops, as rural areas can have long gaps between service stations. Also, ensure you have a reliable way to check maps and road conditions, whether through a local SIM card or offline maps.

Iceland Camper Rental Frequently Asked Questions

• • Where can I rent an Iceland camper or RV?
    You can rent a camper or RV directly from Keflavík International Airport. This convenient location makes it easy to start your Icelandic adventure as soon as you arrive.

• • Do I need insurance for an Iceland camper rental?
    Yes, insurance is mandatory. Most rentals include basic coverage, but it’s wise to review your policy details and consider additional options for comprehensive protection against gravel damage, sandstorms, and Iceland’s unpredictable weather.

• • What type of camper is best for driving around Iceland?
    For most travelers, an economy or compact camper is ideal for city driving and the Ring Road. However, if you plan to explore off-road or venture into the highlands, a 4×4 camper like the Toyota Hilux is a safer, more capable choice.

• • Is it easy to find parking for a camper in Reykjavík?
    Parking a camper in Reykjavík is manageable, although space in the city center can be limited during peak times. Many campsites and designated parking areas are available outside the city for added convenience.

• • Can you go camping in Iceland in winter?
    While it is technically possible to camp in Iceland during winter, it’s generally not recommended. Winter conditions in Iceland can be harsh and unpredictable, with severe cold, heavy snowfall, and icy roads. Most campsites operate on limited hours or are closed during the winter months, and the risk of extreme weather can make camping less safe and comfortable.

• • Can you camp in a regular van in Iceland?
    Technically, you’re allowed to sleep in a regular van in Iceland as long as you do so at a designated campsite. However, it’s generally not recommended. Regular vans often lack the proper insulation, heating, and sleeping arrangements that dedicated campervans offer, which are crucial for comfort and safety given Iceland’s unpredictable weather. Remember, the law requires that you can only camp or overnight in any vehicle—be it a regular van, campervan, motorhome, or caravan—at an approved campsite unless you have written permission from the landowner.
