Agile, Efficient, and Ready for Two

The VW Caddy Camper is the most popular "mini" camper in Iceland. It is built for those who prioritize ease of movement and lower fuel costs without sacrificing a warm place to sleep. Its compact size makes it incredibly easy to park at busy waterfalls and maneuver through the scenic fjords.

While it is a 2WD vehicle—perfect for the Ring Road, the Golden Circle, and the South Coast—it is not permitted on F-roads. For a classic tour of Iceland's main attractions, it provides a cozy, reliable, and discreet way to travel.

Compact Living & Cozy Sleeping

  • Optimized for Two: The cabin features two front seats and a dedicated sleeping area in the back.
  • Double Bed: The rear converts into a comfortable double bed (approx. 110 x 200 cm), providing a flat and cushioned sleeping surface.
  • Smart Storage: Despite its small footprint, the Caddy features clever storage pockets and space under the bed for two suitcases and your hiking gear.
  • Discreet Camping: Its car-like profile makes it a stealthy and stable companion, even in the breezy conditions of the Icelandic coast.
