Hesteyri Campsite

Hesteyri, a former village that was once home to around 80 residents, now operates as a small hostel, café, and a few vacation homes in Hornstradir. The campsite is located among the remains of old homes and yards, providing a unique glimpse into the area’s history. To reach Hornstrandir, one of Iceland’s most remote regions in the northwest, visitors must leave their car behind and take a ferry from Ísafjörður.

Visitors can enjoy fishing from the boat dock, swimming in the sea, and the chance to spot local wildlife, including curious seals. The ocean still provides abundant seafood, making it a favorite spot for nature lovers and adventurous campers.
