Herjólfsdalur Glamping & Camping

Nestled in the picturesque Herjólfsdalur valley, this campsite is surrounded by a majestic horseshoe-shaped mountain, which provides excellent shelter for campers. The stunning scenery offers an idyllic backdrop for leisurely walks on the nearby trails. The site is wheelchair accessible and offers a range of facilities including cooking facilities, cold and hot water, electricity, and waste disposal for mobile homes. The service house at the campsite offers cooking and washing facilities, along with clean and well-maintained toilets and showers included in the rates. The children can enjoy a playground on the premises. Cozy little cabins are also available to rent for those seeking a more comfortable stay. Visitors to the Vestman Islands will discover a group of 15-18 islands, with Heimaey being the only inhabited one. Daily flights from Reykjavík and a ferry from Landeyjarhöfn make access to the islands easy, with a sail time of approximately 35 minutes to Heimaey. The population of Heimaey is around 4,000 people, providing all necessary services to visitors. The history of the Vestman Islands is as captivating as it is beautiful. On January 23, 1973, a volcanic eruption devastated the islands. Almost the entire population was evacuated, and it was not until June of the same year that they were able to return. Though no lives were lost, many houses were destroyed by the lava. For tourists visiting the island, a visit to the area of the eruption is a must, where the ground is still warm to the touch in places.
