Fljótshlið Hotel and Campsite

Location & Vibe

Set on Smáratún farm in Fljótshlíð, just a 10-minute drive from Hvolsvöllur and Route 1, this site has been nurtured by the same family for three generations and received the Nordic Swan eco-label in 2014. The rustic setting offers sweeping views of Eyjafjallajökull and a peaceful, sustainable retreat.
