New facilities at Laugardalur campsite

The Laugardalur campsite in Reykjavik has steadily grown in size over the decades and now has capacity for 46,000 campers per year.

Yesterday saw the opening of new facilities for campers staying at the site, such as a service building and cooking and washing facilities.

The old facilities had long since become insufficient for the growing numbers of tourists visiting the site and no longer adequately met the needs of campers.

mbl.is has taken a look at the new facilities and spoken to a Dutch tourist about how the Laugardalur campsite compares with elsewhere in Europe.
