Can I sleep in my motorhome? National rule Iceland Forbidden
The light applies to car parks and community places. Official stopovers, campsites and farms are always allowed – staying overnight is what they are for.
In Iceland wild camping in a camper is banned, and outside urban areas the landowner's permission is always required. There is no right to roam for vehicles, only parking at most one vehicle width from the road is allowed, and the one-night exception applies to tents alone (Art. 22(3) and Art. 31 Náttúruverndarlög 60/2013).
