The campsite at Snæfell is a short distance from the Visitor Centre in Vatnajökull National Park on road F909. The campsite opens as soon as the road becomes accessible, which is usually in early July. However, this can vary from year to year and depends on weather conditions.

The campsite has toilet facilities and running water. Campers are welcome to use the kitchen in the Visitor Centre for a small fee.

The hiking trail to the top of Snæfell is a short distance from the campsite, but there are many other interesting hiking trails in the area.
