Escape the crowds and find a slice of true Icelandic wilderness at Áfangagil, a wonderfully quiet and rustic campsite nestled in the highlands near the mighty Hekla volcano. It's a spot for those looking to disconnect, with basic but clean facilities and sheep for neighbors. You'll find it's a perfect base for exploring the surrounding trails, offering a more authentic experience than the busier hubs. While a 4x4 is recommended for the gravel road access, no river crossings are required to reach this peaceful haven.
