Vík Campsite
Vík campsite is one of Iceland's largest, taking up to 250 guests, and sits on a hill above the famous black beach of Reynisfjara with its Reynisdrangar basalt sea stacks. It has a shared kitchen, laundry, electric pitches and coin-operated hot showers. The season runs April to November, and its position halfway along the south coast makes it a handy stop for Skógafoss and Dyrhólaey.
