Bæjarins Beztu Pylsur directly translates to “The best hot dogs in town” and is a popular hot dog stand in central Reykjavík. This is the place people are talking about when they ask you if you’ve “been to that hot dog stand”. Sure, it’s just a hot dog stand, but its legendary status combined with […]
Studlagil is a gorgeous canyon with basalt columns and blue-green water. For many years, the beauty of this canyon was hidden underwater. The columns revealed themselves when the water level decreased after Kárahnjúkar Hydropower Plant was opened in 2009. Once a hard-to-access hidden gem, today Studlagil is a popular destination.

When in Iceland, you have to visit the hot pots. It’s a must, really. What better way to experience Icelandic culture than to do as the locals do and take a dip in a hot, steaming bath? There are so many spotted around the island, there is no excuse for anyone to miss out. So […]
So you’re planning your trip to the Westfjords and don’t know where to start your research. Luckily for you, I finally got to see why Westfjords is such a popular region to travel to, in my Happy 1 camper van. I was impressed to say the least. There were so many highlights in my trip […]
The area of Lake Mývatn is a nature reserve and in its own right, a beautiful and untouched natural landscape. It has so much to offer and you can explore the surroundings for days if you wanted to focus on just one region of Iceland. This includes the geothermal power plant, Hverir hot springs, and […]

With all of Iceland’s abundant geothermal power, you’re correct to think that. Well, there’s good news! I’ve got a Happy Campers exclusive deal for you. When camping around […]
There are many waterfalls in Iceland. So many, in fact, that you could see five new waterfalls every day and still not see them all. Each one has it’s own particular character, shape, and approach. Some waterfalls are accessible right off Road 1, with ample parking. Some waterfalls are only accessible with a 4X4 vehicle […]
Over the Easter Weekend, I visited Vestmannaeyjar (or Westman Islands) and can highly recommend adding this destination to your Iceland bucket list for 1-2 days. Taking over your Happy Camper is a cinch as well, especially when the campsite is up and running from mid-May! Heimaey (the main island) has interesting history and exciting outdoor […]
You’re not a regular tourist. You don’t want a posh penthouse Airbnb in the 101. Being out in nature sounds a lot more interesting. You don’t want a coach bus to cart you around Iceland with the rest of the tourists, you’d prefer the freedom of stopping and going wherever and whenever you please. You, […]
By far, my favorite little town on the Snæfellsnes peninsula is Stykkishólmur. It’s the favorite of many others as well; this town has been a center for trade and commerce since the 16th century because of its natural harbour. If you’ve seen Secret Life of Walter Mitty, you’ll notice a lot of filming locations here as this […]
