About Hafnarfjörður Campsite

Located in the heart of Víðistaðatún Park, our campsite offers a peaceful retreat surrounded by lava formations and outdoor art installations.

About Hafnarfjörður

Hafnarfjörður, Iceland’s third-largest town, has around 30,000 residents. Its name, meaning “Harbour Fjord,” reflects its rich history as a major fishing and trading hub. Built on lava fields, the town is steeped in Icelandic folklore, with legends of elves, dwarves, and Hidden Folk said to inhabit the mystical boulders found throughout the area.
