Next year will be my 60th orbit of the sun and as a gift my lovely wife Michelle offered to take me anywhere I wanted to go. Originally we were heading to the Orkney Isles of Scotland but than my son, Cameron, and his new bride honeymooned in Iceland and a seed was planted…
Well Iceland is a bit more rugged the the Orkneys and I’m not getting younger, if I want to fully experience the ruggedness of Iceland now is the time. And as we will probably only have one shot at this, we are going to make the most of it.
So after doing a bunch of research over the last couple months we just opened up the Clan coffers and booked airfare and a camping rig to spend 10 days at the end of July ‘25 to traverse the Ring Road and the F Road offshoots.
Researching camping in Iceland reveals there is no dispersed camping but instead, campground hostels for lack of a better word. Most have latrines, kitchen houses, showers and a scant few laundry mats. Most don’t need reservations while busy ones do. There’s a lot to unpack.
We are starting to lay out our trip itinerary figuring out places to see and where to spend the night. So I was wondering if anybody here had any insights on camping along the Ring Road.
This will be our F Road bomber in 9 months btw…
I figure the roof box will work well to store huaberk, shield, sword and winged spear for the troll hunting. Need to find out about getting a hunting permit for that though…
