Vík í Mýrdal Campsite
Vík í Mýrdal is Iceland's southernmost village on the mainland and one of the most iconic stops on the South Coast. The campsite provides an outstanding base for exploring the dramatic black sand beach at Reynisfjara, the basalt sea stacks of Reynisdrangar, and the sweeping volcanic coastline. The looming Katla volcano and Mýrdalsjökull glacier form a dramatic backdrop to the village, and on clear days the views stretch across the beach to the sea.
