Camp Hlíð near Lake Mývatn and the village of Reykjahlíð is quite popular due to its beautiful views, ample space, and excellent location near hiking trails. In October, campers have access to the hostel’s amenities across the road – a fully equipped kitchen, a dining room with a winter garden, showers, and toilets both inside and in a separate heated building near the camp. The campers’ kitchen is in a tent in the parking lot and is equipped with four gas stoves, a water heater, and dining tables. It can be cold and windy at night, but the kitchen serves its purpose. Dishwashing sinks are located outside near the showers. The facilities are clean, and showers are included in the price.
The reception offers Wi-Fi access if you are near the building. The camp is relatively expensive, but the quality of the facilities matches the cost – for instance, the possibility to arrive late at night with access to all services. The water in the showers has the typical Icelandic sulfur smell. The site offers several levels of parking spots on the slope, providing greater privacy. The pitches are flat and well-maintained. The kitchen can be quite full at dinner time. Basic necessities can be purchased at the reception. Annoying midges are a given, but that is standard around Lake Mývatn.
