Spring vs the other seasons
Warmer and brighter than winter yet quieter and less costly than summer, spring is the value pick — though anyone set on the highlands should wait for June, and dedicated aurora chasers are better served by autumn.

What you'll actually spend in Spring
The camper figure comes from live price checks for Spring; campsites, fuel and food are typical estimates (Indicative 2026 EUR bands (~1 EUR ≈ 145 ISK); diesel ~250–260 ISK/L and exchange rates shift — re-verify yearly against current ISK prices.)
Renting a campervan in Spring
A spring camper trip changes character from one month to the next. March still feels like late winter — near-freezing, snow lingering, the Northern Lights active on clear nights. By May the picture flips: temperatures reach double digits, the land greens up, and the sun barely sets. Rates rise in step with that thaw, holding firmly in shoulder-season territory between the winter floor and the summer ceiling.
The Ring Road stays open throughout, so a full loop of the island is realistic in any spring month, but the highland interior remains off-limits. F-roads are closed for nearly all of the season, with only the easiest route, Kjölur (F35), sometimes opening right at the end of May. Build your itinerary around the coast and lowlands rather than the interior.
Campsite availability is the detail to plan around. March and April run on a thin network of year-round sites near Reykjavik and Akureyri, so a self-contained van and a booked-ahead route help; by mid-to-late May most seasonal sites reopen and your options widen sharply. Pack for genuine cold early on and for changeable, wind-driven weather the whole way through.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a campervan cost in Iceland in Spring?
In Spring, 2-person campers typically run €101–€286 per day and 4x4 campers €171–€350 per day, based on our recent price checks — about 26% above the yearly average.
Is Spring a good time to rent a campervan in Iceland?
Yes — spring rewards travellers who want lengthening days and shoulder-season value without summer's crowds. March and April deliver quiet roads and lingering aurora, while May brings mild weather, near-endless light, and reopening campsites. The trade-off is that the highlands stay shut and early-season nights can still drop below freezing.
Are campsites open in spring in Iceland?
Only partly. Through March and April you're limited to a handful of year-round sites, mainly around Reykjavik and Akureyri, so a self-contained camper and advance planning matter. Most seasonal campsites reopen by mid-to-late May, when the network across the country widens considerably.
Can I see the Northern Lights or the midnight sun in spring?
Both, depending on timing. March and April still offer dark enough nights for aurora when skies are clear, while May tips into the midnight sun as true darkness disappears — so early spring is for Northern Lights and late spring for endless daylight.
Can I drive the highland F-roads in a spring campervan?
No — the interior stays closed for nearly all of spring. F-roads remain shut through March, April, and most of May, with only Kjölur (F35) occasionally opening right at the end of the month. Stick to the Ring Road and lowland routes, and watch for spring storms and high winds.
Do I need a 4x4 campervan in Spring?
A 2-wheel-drive camper is fine for the Ring Road and most sights in Spring. You only need a 4x4 if you plan to drive the highland F-roads.
