Outdoor camping has long been a part of Icelandic summer culture, and for many there is nothing better than getting outside the city limits, breathing in the fresh air and enjoying the tranquility that nature offers. Whether the trip is to a popular campsite or to the more remote gems of the country, camping comes with a certain sense of freedom and simplicity that is hard to find anywhere else.
At the same time, the possibilities are almost endless, from short weekend trips with the family to longer adventures with friends. With good preparation and the right mindset, every trip can become an unforgettable experience. In this roundup, we look at some ways to make camping even better and get the most out of your time outdoors.

Outside is an Icelandic woolen carpet
Camping in Iceland offers a unique connection to nature, where silence, vast landscapes and endless summer light create an unforgettable experience. But as the weather can change quickly, comfort becomes key when outdoors. Outside from Lopidraumur at Ístex is designed with this in mind. Inspired by Icelandic earth colors, the pattern reflects the warmth of the moss, the shades of swamp red and the soft light of Icelandic summer evenings.
The carpet is made from 100% pure new wool from Icelandic farmers, which is both renewable and biodegradable. The wool breathes well and adapts to body temperature so it keeps you warm without overheating. It also repels moisture and odors, which makes the blanket particularly suitable for longer camping trips and trips around the country.
The blanket is light and warm and easy to take with you whether it’s on a camping trip or for a short outing. Design by Védís Jónsdóttir combines Icelandic tradition, sustainability and timeless aesthetics.
