Iceland?

Úlfljótsvatn Outdoor and Scout Center is owned and run by scouts (a joint operation between the Icelandic Boy and Girl Scout Association and the Reykjavík Scout District), but is also open to the public. The center is authorised VÍK Dyrhólaey as a tour operator by the Icelandic Tourist Board. Úlfljótsvatn Outdoor and Scout Center has been accommodating groups since 1942. Today we are offering indoor accommodation in three main houses with 88 beds in total. The center also has two group kitchen and dining halls, two lecture/group rooms, a multi-functional house at the campsite, a campsite service-center with showers, and other buildings. If you prefer canvas and grass, the campsite offers plenty of space and amenities, including free hot showers. One of the best things about Iceland is how safe it is. Experienced international campers might be surprised to learn that in Iceland there are no bears, wolves or other big predators. There are also no snakes or venomous insects.
