Featuring garden views, Baksas Luxury Campers provides accommodation with patio, around 48 km from Thingvellir National Park. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The campground features family rooms. This place is a gem. The owner, Remune, is super kind, helpful and friendly. We felt very welcome. Communication was very easy and prompt. The campervan is super clean and comfortable and very well designed with lots of space. Despite being a camper van, it has everything we need. . We love that we could experience staying in such a luxurious campervan. Beds are comfortable and we slept very well. Windows are brilliant - they open easily to let in fresh air which enable us to control the temperature of our rooms. The kitchen is very well equipped with a full size fridge and amenities to enable us to cook our meals easily. There are condiments and choices of hot drinks and we appreciate the coke and chocolate left for us. Coffee is great. We love the beautiful, quiet and peaceful rustic surrounding and yet we were only a short drive to Bonus and Krónan supermarkets. Check in and check out were super easy.
