Our campsite is located above the village on a level and convenient spot. From there, all services in the village are within walking distance. The facilities at the campsite are good. There are tables and benches, a laundry and drying room, and good space for a bike shed and car with access to electricity. The sports hall Verin has exemplary facilities, including a large indoor pool, a gym, and a fitness room. The tourist information centre is also located there, as well as other facilities for travelers, such as a washing machine. There is a football pitch next to the sports hall where, more often than not, one can find both amateur and professional players. The heart of Þórshöfn beats in time with the fishing grounds; fishing and fish processing have been the main industries there throughout the years. It is therefore fun to stroll down to the harbour and watch the bustle of life. It is also fun to walk around the lovely garden. The service in Þórshöfn is very good; there is a health centre and a pharmacy, a shop, a restaurant, a grill, a sports hall and pool, a savings bank, a post office, a petrol station, a garage, etc. Tourist signs telling the story of the village have been placed by the harbour.

Interesting places in the vicinity of Þórshöfn include, for example, Langanes, Bakkafjörður, and Rauðanes. If you drive out to Langanes, you can visit the Sauðanes House and go to the beautiful viewing platform on Skoruvíkurbjörg. Going out to the abandoned village of Skálar and all the way out to Fontur lighthouse makes the trip even better.
