Básar Hut and Campsite

The Básar á Goðalandi campsite located in Þórsmörk offers a stunning location surrounded by natural beauty. Campers can choose between flat areas and tree-covered spots to set up their tents. The campsite provides a range of services, including cooking facilities, showers, and toilets. Dogs are welcome, and there's even the option for sleeping bag accommodation. While the water supply is cold, the warm hospitality of the staff more than makes up for it.

The area is renowned for its hiking trails, with options for both experienced and novice hikers. From the Réttarfell viewpoint to the challenging Útigönguhöfði cape, there's something for everyone. The Hvannárgil canyon is a must-see for those looking for a little adventure. To reach the campsite, take the turnoff from highway 1 onto road 249 by Seljalandsfoss waterfall. The road transforms into the F249 mountain road, which is only accessible to jeeps and larger vehicles with 4×4. Take extra care crossing the glacier rivers, as they can be treacherous and the water flow can change rapidly. In addition to the natural beauty surrounding the campsite, there are also many nearby attractions. The volcanic site at Fimmvörðuháls, Eyjafjallajökull volcano, Mýrdalsjökull glacier, and Thórsmörk are all within reach.
