We strongly recommend to use the campsites here in Iceland. They are plentiful, and normally relaxed with good facilities. You don’t have to make reservation and can just show up and fairly late too. 

Here is a map with all campesites in Iceland and all year campsites.

If you don’t have access to campsites you must seek permission to camp for the night from the owner of the land you plan on staying on as it is not legal to camp wild. In a national park you must use the campsite. Off road driving is illegal in Iceland and please do not litter or leave anything behind. 

We advise people not to try to complete the ring road with less than 7 days on the road. 10 days are what we feel are optimal and we get the best feedback from the customers that have used 10 days for making the whole way around the island in a camper. If you have less than a week we recommend the south coast and the golden circle. Snæfellsnes peninsula and Reykjanes peninsula are nice areas as well with plenty of options for exploring and within comfortable driving distance.

Check out our Campervan Itinerary for 7 days around the Ring Road

We recommend that each customer gets familiar with the safetravel.is website. There is a lot of good information there regarding driving in the highland of Iceland and driving in Iceland in general. Another good webpage that we recommend is visiticeland.com and here you can reach a video of how to drive safely in Iceland. The Iceland academy videos are also a great source of info.
We also strongly recommend that you check the weather forecast and road conditions each day as both can change frequently and where you were planning to go might not be possible at the time. Please note that driving a Camper at a wind speed of more than 15 meters per second is not recommended.
