Key Tips that Make Your Campervan Journey Smoother
Driving a campervan in Iceland is easier than you think. You do not need camping skills or off-grid experience. We show you how everything works before you even get the keys. After that, it is just you, the road, and a warm bed on wheels.
Setting up the van without stress
At pickup, we walk you through every button and switch. Heating, lights, bed setup, stove, charging ports, you will see it all in action. Want to take a quick spin in the lot before hitting the highway? Do it. The vans are compact enough to handle like a car once you have had five minutes behind the wheel.
Pack smart: layers, sturdy boots, a first-aid kit, and your personal essentials. Most of the gear, such as bedding, a kitchen kit, and camping basics, is already included. Keep your stuff organized because clutter piles up fast when you are living out of a van.
Heating you can actually trust
Most of our campervan rentals come with heating designed for Iceland, whether diesel or electric. It runs through the night (8-10 hours on one charge), so you will not wake up freezing at 3 am. Controls are simple dials or switches, and we show you how before you leave.
Even in summer, nights get cold, so keep a sweater or sleeping bag within reach.
Cooking without turning the van into a smokehouse
Stoves, pans, plates, and utensils are available for our rentals, just like a fridge or cooler. Crack a window when you cook to keep steam and condensation under control. Stick to easy one-pot meals and stock up in Reykjavik or bigger towns since small villages often have limited shops. Campsites have sinks and waste bins, so clean up as you go. Iceland is strict about keeping nature spotless.
Extra tips that save headaches
- Roads here switch from tarmac to gravel without warning. Slow down and keep both hands on the wheel.
- Park level if you want decent sleep. Tilted parking means sliding into your travel buddy all night.
- Never drive off-road. It is illegal and destroys the moss that takes decades to grow back.
Parking legally and sleeping peacefully
Wild camping is illegal in Iceland for campervans. You must use official campsites or get permission from a landowner. Luckily, there are around 200 campsites nationwide, with over 40 open year-round, most with showers, toilets, and Wi-Fi. Pay a small fee, park up, and relax without worrying about a ranger’s flashlight at midnight. In towns, only use marked zones for daytime parking. Overnight is for campgrounds only.

Pro tip
Check out this map for a full breakdown of nearly all the campsites in Iceland or ask at a gas station.
Know what will be open
- Summer: Almost all 200+ campsites in Iceland are open from late May to September. You will have plenty of choices.
- Winter: Most campsites close. Only around 40 stay open year-round, usually near larger towns or hot spring areas. Plan your route with open campsites in mind.
- Shoulder months (April and October): Some campsites open but with limited facilities. In rural areas, this can mean basic services only.
Many people dream about total freedom on Iceland’s roads. The truth is, you can have it, but only if you know what is possible and what is legal. That way, your journey stays unforgettable and respectful of this island.
Ring Road Flexibility: Go at your own pace
The Ring Road, also called Route 1, loops 1,322 km (821 miles) around the island. It connects most towns and famous sights. It is paved, well signed, and simple for self-guided travelers to follow.
You decide how to use it. The Ring Road is not just a checklist. It is a starting point. You can skip places, reverse the route, or add stops depending on your interests and your energy for the day. Campsites and services are available along the way, so changing plans is easy.
No off-roading ever
The landscapes may look like an invitation to drive anywhere, but off-road driving is illegal in Iceland. It damages fragile moss and lava fields and comes with heavy fines. You must stay on marked roads at all times. Gravel F-roads are only for 4x4 vehicles and only when they are open in summer.
How far can you travel in a week
Most tourists drive the full Ring Road in 7 to 8 days. This pace lets you see the highlights, take photos, stop for short hikes, and avoid long exhausting drives.
Driving the Ring Road without stops takes 17 to 20 hours. With sightseeing, plan for 150 to 250 km per day. That means about 3 to 5 hours of driving broken up with meals, walks, and scenic stops.
- Day 1: Reykjavik to the South Coast (waterfalls, black sand beaches)
- Day 2: South Coast to Southeast (glaciers, lagoons)
- Day 3: Southeast to East Fjords (fishing villages, coastal roads)
- Day 4: East Fjords to the North (whale watching, volcanic lakes)
- Day 5: North to Northwest (geothermal areas, turf farms)
- Day 6: Northwest to West Iceland (hot springs, craters)
- Day 7: Return to Reykjavik
If you have extra days, you can add the Snæfellsnes Peninsula or stay longer in your favorite areas.

Seasonal route adjustments
- Summer: The Ring Road is fully open, year-round, so don’t stress too much about how seasons will affect your plans if this is the route you had in mind anyway.
- Winter: The Ring Road is plowed regularly, but storms can close sections for hours at a time. Stick to main roads and check safetravel.is daily. All F-roads are closed in winter.
- Spring and Fall: These shoulder seasons mean fewer tourists. The tradeoff is unpredictable weather. Adjust your pace and try to reach campsites before dark.
Driving laws you need to know
- Seatbelts are mandatory for everyone, front and back.
- Headlights must be on at all times, day or night.
- The speed limit is usually 90 km/h on paved rural roads, 80 km/h on gravel roads, and 50 km/h in towns unless signs say otherwise.
- Drinking and driving is taken very seriously. The legal limit is close to zero. Do not risk it.
- Off-road driving is illegal and heavily fined. Stick to marked routes only.
- Overtaking on blind hills or curves is forbidden. Use designated pull-offs to let faster cars pass.
- Mobile phone use while driving is banned unless you use a hands-free device.
Iceland never looks the same twice. The month you travel defines how many hours of daylight you get, which campsites are open, what the roads look like, and even how much you should pack. Here is what you need to know so you are ready for any season.
Quick Comparison Table
| Topic | Summer (May to July) |
|---|---|
| Daylight hours: prepare to be surprised | Nearly 24 hours of daylight thanks to the Midnight Sun. In June and July, it never gets truly dark. |
| Driving conditions: expect big changes | The Ring Road is clear, and F-roads start to open for 4x4 vehicles. You will still face rain, wind, and fog, so stay alert. |
| Packing smart for every season | Breathable base layers, fleece or light sweater, waterproof jacket, hiking pants, warm socks, and hat for evenings, swimsuit, sunglasses, and sunscreen. Avoid denim and cotton because they stay wet. |

Worried about hidden costs?
You should be. Here is what you will actually spend on a campervan trip in Iceland and why it saves you money compared to hotels and restaurants.
Campervan rental
In summer, a basic two-person campervan usually costs between $150 and $250 per night. In winter, prices drop to about $50 to $75 per night. A full week in summer will set you back around $1,050 to $1,750.
Fuel
Current prices:
- Gasoline is about $2.30 per liter
- Diesel is about $2.40 per liter
Driving the full Ring Road is around 1,300 km. Most vans get 10 to 15 km per liter, so expect to spend $225 to $300 in fuel for the loop.
Campsite fees
Most campsites in Iceland charge about $12 to $20 per person each night. A few charges per van instead, at around $36 to $45 per pitch per night. For two people staying a full week, you are looking at $168 to $315 in total, depending on the campsite’s pricing system.
Pro tip
The Camping Card gives you access to 40+ campsites for a flat fee of $187, which is worth it if you are staying longer.
Food
Eating out in Iceland is expensive:
- Dinner for two at a restaurant is $140 to $160
- Fast food combo meal is $18 to $20
Groceries are far cheaper:
- Bread $2.90
- Milk $1.65 per liter
- Dozen eggs $5.20
- Chicken $13 per kilo
- Cheese $14 per block
If you cook in your campervan, groceries for a week cost about $60 to $120 per person. That saves you hundreds of dollars compared to eating out.
How a campervan saves you money
- You do not pay hotel rates because your van is your bed.
- You cook your own food in the van instead of spending on restaurants every day.
- Campsites are much cheaper than hotels, with $12 to $20 per night compared to $100 to $250 for hotel rooms.
Hidden costs to be aware of
- Showers at campsites usually cost $1.5 to $4 per person.
- Optional insurance upgrades add to the rental price but reduce your risk if something goes wrong.
Example weekly budget for two in the summer
| Category | Estimated Cost (USD) |
|---|---|
| Campervan Rental | $1,050 - $1,750 |
| Fuel | $225 - $300 |
| Campsites | $168 - $315 |
| Groceries and Food | $150 - $250 |
| Total | $1,593 - $2,615 |
Compare these prices with renting a car plus paying for hotels and restaurants, which often totals $2,000 to $3,000 per week for two.
