    Everywhere you go you have to pay to park and pay to camp.

    Whew, thanks for letting me know that.

    Now I will never be going there with my own money.

      Iceland is quite beautiful, I didn’t camp but I recall the park areas being quite fierce about not venturing off of walking paths to protect sensitive things like moss that take forever to grow. That may be a reason why they don’t allow dispersed camping. I’d say still go, it was beautiful in the winter and I didn’t find it too crowded or unbearably cold.

        I’d like to, but I’ll just go somewhere else beautiful that doesn’t try to gouge me at every turn.
