Drangsnes

The Drangsnes campsite is located above the urban center of Drangsnes in Strandasýsla, on the northern side of Steingrímsfjörður. The area is spacious, well-organized and is particularly suitable for both families and larger groups.

The campsite has good sanitary facilities with showers, as well as a washing machine and dryer. Electricity is widely available in the area and most guests should be able to connect to it. The campsite has a sports field and a new play area that will delight the youngest guests.

The renowned hot tubs on the shore of Drangsnes are located just about 300 meters below the campsite. There, guests can relax in a unique environment with a view of the fjord, an experience that few people forget. There are also good sanitary facilities and showers by the tubs.

The campsite is very large and therefore usually has plenty of space. The area is particularly suitable for family reunions and other events. It is also possible to rent the Baldur meeting house, which runs the campsite, for parties and events.

The area is primarily family-friendly and guests are asked to be considerate, limit driving within the area and respect the night’s silence. Drunkenness and loud noise can lead to immediate expulsion.

The village has good services, including a local trading company and the Malarkaffi restaurant. The swimming pool at Drangsnes offers hot tubs, a children’s pool, a sauna and a gym and is popular with guests.

There are beautiful hiking trails nearby, for example a marked path to Bæjarfell (345 m) where there is a panoramic view of Húnaflói and the northern beaches. Not far away are also fun beaches that are an adventure for young and old.

There is a variety of activities nearby. Whale watching is offered from Hveravík and sailing trips by the Malarhorn guesthouse out to Grímsey, a true natural paradise with one of the largest puffin colonies in Europe. This trip also includes angling.

Note: The outdoor recreation card is not valid during the Bryggjuhátíðinn festival on July 17–19, nor on August 12, when there will be a solar eclipse.
