Campervan and RV Rental in Iceland

Black sand beaches, lush green valleys, and thousands of waterfalls are just a few of the impressive natural features that the country of Iceland offers. Rent a campervan or RV in Iceland and explore the fairytale landscapes of the Icelandic wilderness.

Iceland National Parks

Crowded within Iceland's borders are 5 national parks, making up nearly 20% of the country's protected area. Drive your campervan or RV rental around the ring road to see otherworldly basalt columns and ancient ruins and hike up towering volcanoes.

Snæfellsjökull National Park is perched on the Snæfellsjökull peninsula. This national park is home to some of Iceland's most mesmerizing landscapes. Walk across shimmering glaciers, lava plateaus, and through rocky coves in this stunning national park.

Drive your campervan rental east from Reykjavík to the UNESCO world heritage site of  Þingvellir National Park . Learn about Iceland's rich history as you explore the ruins of the first Icelandic settlement. Or, hike between the dramatic Almannagjá fault line to see a physical thumbprint of the geological activity that lies just below the ground. 

Explore the mighty Vatnajökull glacier, which covers an astonishing 13% of Iceland's total landmass, at Vatnajökull National Park. Tour glittering ice caves, walk up Iceland's tallest waterfall and marvel at the world of volcanoes hidden below the glacier. All with the comfort of your campervan or RV rental.

Iceland Coastline, Lakes, and Rivers

When you rent a campervan in Iceland, you will have unlimited access to the glittering coastline. Rivers, springs, and lakes are abundant in Iceland and are just to be explored. 

Iceland's ring road will give you easy access to dozens of impressive waterfalls and coastlines. Drive your campervan rental towards the Havítá river. Here you'll find Gullfoss falls– the largest volume waterfall in Europe.  

Continue driving your campervan or RV rental to Dettifoss, located on the Jokulsá á Fjöllum River. Along the way, you'll pass by the gorgeous glacial lake Jökulsárlón. 

Of course, you would be remiss to pass up the stunning black sand beaches of the southern Icelandic coast. Watch nesting puffins and wild arctic waves from the black sands of Reynisfjara and Solheimasandur. These basalt-framed beaches are certainly worth the visit.
