The east gets the silence. Egilssta\u00f0ir is the main town of East Iceland, set beside the long lake of Lagarflj\u00f3t and surrounded by birch forest that looks entirely unlike the rest of the country. From here you can drive to a canyon of basalt columns, to some of the steepest fjords on the island, and to reindeer herds that graze on the high plateau.<\/p>\n<p>Iceland is home turf for us, and the Ring Road is a route we know well. One thing worth saying clearly up front, though: <strong>you cannot collect a campervan in Egilssta\u00f0ir<\/strong>. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.campervanplanet.com\/egilsstadir-campervan-rental?currency=EUR&#038;sid=joonaheinone&#038;utm_source=joonaheinone&#038;utm_medium=affiliate&#038;utm_content=blog-east-iceland-campervan-egilsstadir-east-fjords-dettifoss-studlagil\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\">CampervanPlanet Egilssta\u00f0ir page<\/a> is explicit that live availability is for pick-up at Keflav\u00edk International Airport and in Reykjav\u00edk, so an east Iceland trip is a drive of about 690 km before you reach the town, or the other way round if you plan the loop in a different direction.<\/p><div class=\"htf-tldr\"><div class=\"htf-tldr-label\">Short Answer<\/div><p>Pick-ups are at <strong>Keflav\u00edk Airport and Reykjav\u00edk<\/strong>, not in the east. CampervanPlanet&#8217;s vehicle cards show a two-berth budget camper from about <strong>\u20ac40 a day<\/strong> on quiet dates, a comfort camper from about \u20ac129, a 4&#215;4 highland camper from about \u20ac189 and a family motorhome from about \u20ac219.

We think that is a mistake. The East Fjords are long, narrow and quiet, with small fishing villages tucked at the end of each one. The coast is rugged, the weather changes constantly and the birch woods around Hallormssta\u00f0ask\u00f3gur are the nearest thing the country has to a forest.<\/p>\n<p>Egilssta\u00f0ir itself is a practical stop with a supermarket, fuel, a swimming pool and campsites, which makes it a good base for day trips. It also has a small airport, but note that CampervanPlanet does not list any pick-up there, so plan to start at Keflav\u00edk and drive.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to see the north first, our guide to the <a href=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/travel-tips\/akureyri-campervan-rental-north-iceland-diamond-circle-myvatn\/\">Akureyri and Diamond Circle<\/a> covers the other half of the northern ring, and <a href=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/campervan-rental\/\">our campervan rental guide<\/a> explains how to choose a rental.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Four_routes_through_the_east\"><\/span>Four routes through the east<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Egilssta\u00f0ir page maps four routes. We would consider them as pieces of a larger Ring Road loop.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"East_Fjords_loop\"><\/span>East Fjords loop<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This is the one most visitors skip. The road follows the coast through Rey\u00f0arfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, F\u00e1skr\u00fa\u00f0sfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur and Dj\u00fapivogur, with tunnels, hairpins and moments where the sea fills the whole windscreen. Allow a full day with stops, or two if you want to walk.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Diamond_Circle_via_Dettifoss\"><\/span>Diamond Circle via Dettifoss<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Dettifoss is often described as the most powerful waterfall in Europe by volume, and the approach road matters: the western side is the easier road, the eastern less so. Combine it with \u00c1sbyrgi, H\u00fasav\u00edk and the M\u00fdvatn area, and you have a classic north-east loop of two to three days.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Back_to_Keflavik_via_the_south_coast\"><\/span>Back to Keflav\u00edk via the south coast<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>From the east, you drive the famous stretch with glaciers, black-sand beaches and the glacier lagoon at J\u00f6kuls\u00e1rl\u00f3n. It is a long day to reach the south, and a good reason not to rush any single section.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Askja_and_the_highland_F-roads_4%C3%974_only\"><\/span>Askja and the highland F-roads (4&#215;4 only)<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>If you want to enter the highlands, you need a proper 4&#215;4 and a clear understanding of river crossings and F-road rules. Our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/hungrytravelfamily.com\/blog\/travel-tips\/iceland-4x4-camper-rental-f-roads-highlands\/\">Iceland 4&#215;4 camper rental and F-roads<\/a> goes through what is allowed and what is not. The highland roads open only in summer, usually from late June, depending on snow.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Prices_and_seasons\"><\/span>Prices and seasons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The page shows a range of vehicle types. A two-berth manual petrol camper appears from around <strong>\u20ac40 a day<\/strong> on quiet dates, a two-to-three berth comfort camper with heater and kitchen from about <strong>\u20ac129 a day<\/strong>, a 4&#215;4 highland camper from about <strong>\u20ac189 a day<\/strong>, and a family motorhome with full kitchen and bathroom from about <strong>\u20ac219 a day<\/strong>. These are starting prices, not guaranteed rates, and Iceland has a steep peak: June to August costs several times what winter does.<\/p>\n<p>The other big costs are fuel, which is high in Iceland, and the distances. A loop from Keflav\u00edk to the east and back is easily 2,000 km, so budget for a full week at the very least. A 4&#215;4 uses more fuel but opens up roads that a two-wheel-drive van cannot touch.

The page specifically warns about the Fjar\u00f0arhei\u00f0i pass, which connects Egilssta\u00f0ir to Sey\u00f0isfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur and can close in snow during transition months. Wind is another risk: strong gusts can damage vehicle doors, and rental insurance may not cover wind damage, so ask what is covered and how to park safely.<\/p>\n<p>In winter, the east becomes the aurora capital of the island, with dark skies and very few people. A winter campervan trip in Iceland is possible but demanding: short days, ice, and a need to check road conditions every morning on the Icelandic road site. Heaters must be diesel-powered and reliable. We would only recommend it to people who have driven in snow before.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s5\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_sleep_and_what_to_do\"><\/span>Where to sleep and what to do<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Egilssta\u00f0ir has a campsite in town, and Atlav\u00edk, inside the forest of Hallormssta\u00f0ask\u00f3gur, is a lovely alternative on the shore of the lake. In Iceland, wild camping in a campervan is not allowed in most places: you are expected to use campsites, and the rules were tightened in recent years. Always check current regulations before you go.<\/p>\n<p>For a first day, we would pick one of three easy options. The Lagarflj\u00f3t and Hengifoss walk is a mellow outing to a tall, striped waterfall. Sey\u00f0isfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, the colourful fjord village, is spectacular but needs the pass in good conditions. Stu\u00f0lagil canyon, with its basalt columns and turquoise river, is a popular north push. Whatever you choose, keep the fuel tank topped up and the fresh water full before you head into the less populated parts.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"s6\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_go\"><\/span>When to go<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>June to August is the Ring Road&#8217;s high season: open roads, long days, midnight sun and the highest prices. The shoulder months of May and September give lower prices and fewer people, though weather can turn. Highland roads open late and close early. For northern lights, plan between September and March, and for that you need warm gear and a very good heater.<\/p>\n<!-- HTF-CVP-V1 -->\n<div style=\"margin:34px 0;background:linear-gradient(150deg,#2D5A3D 0%,#1a3d28 100%);border-radius:16px;padding:30px 28px;color:#fff;text-align:center;\"><div style=\"font-size:12px;letter-spacing:2px;text-transform:uppercase;color:#E8D5A0;font-weight:700;margin-bottom:8px;\">Ready for the open road?<\/div><h3 style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-size:24px;color:#fff;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Book_your_Iceland_campervan\"><\/span>Book your Iceland campervan<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3><p style=\"margin:0 auto 18px;max-width:520px;font-size:14.5px;line-height:1.6;color:rgba(255,255,255,.85);\">Compare prices across 160+ campervan and motorhome rental brands, get a free 1GB eSIM with every booking \u2014 and <strong>\u20ac20 off with code HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY20<\/strong>.<\/p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.campervanplanet.com\/egilsstadir-campervan-rental?currency=EUR&#038;sid=joonaheinone&#038;utm_source=joonaheinone&#038;utm_medium=affiliate&#038;utm_content=blog-east-iceland-campervan-egilsstadir-east-fjords-dettifoss-studlagil\" rel=\"sponsored noopener\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#C8A45A;color:#1A1917;text-decoration:none;font-weight:800;font-size:15px;padding:14px 30px;border-radius:12px;\">Check prices &amp; availability \u2192<\/a><div style=\"font-size:11px;color:rgba(255,255,255,.6);margin-top:12px;\">Affiliate link \u2014 same price for you, small commission for us.<\/div><\/div>\n\n<h2 id=\"faq\" style=\"padding-left:0;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<details><summary>Can I pick up a campervan in Egilssta\u00f0ir?<\/summary>\n<p>No. CampervanPlanet lists live availability for pick-up at Keflav\u00edk International Airport and in Reykjav\u00edk, about 690 km from Egilssta\u00f0ir.<\/p><\/details>\n<details><summary>How much does a campervan cost in Iceland?<\/summary>\n<p>Starting prices on the page range from about \u20ac40 a day for a budget camper on quiet dates to about \u20ac219 a day for a family motorhome, and much more in July and August.
