If you only have a week then fly to Iceland and rent your camper van when you get there.

I've just found a site called visiticeland.com. It's got a map of it says 170 campsites. I'm interested as I cycle toured around Iceland 20 odd years ago and would love to do what you are doing in a camper van some day.

I put "campsites iceland" into google!
I have just been to find the diary that I kept when we cycle-toured.
It was in July 1996 and I was just 25 with my slightly older husband.I had spent time touring in Europe but 2 weeks in Iceland was a whole different experience. I had been interested in Iceland since a young child, as my dad would show us slides taken during a hiking trip in his teens.Then I read The Wind in My Wheels by Josie Dew with a chapter on Iceland. That was it flight booked from Glasgow.
We camped at Reykavik, Pingvellir, somewhere near to Gullfoss, Hveravellir, Blonduoss, Stadarskali, Varmaland, Borgarnes, Reykavik, Grindavik, and Njardvik.
Saw Geysir, Gullfoss, Blue Lagoon and did the inland Kjolur route, about 500 miles by bike.
Where do you plan to go in the camper. All around? Im most jealous!

Blue Lagoon was £3.50 in 1996! Mind you we did cycle there in the rain from Grindavik. I was never really a cyclist but did spend 3 months cycle camping in Europe a few years before the Iceland trip.
I've just spent a pleasant afternoon looking at all things Iceland. It's my 50th birthday in 2 years and I have been thinking about doing a hiking trek somewhere adventurous. I'm now thinking of a camper in Iceland or maybe a car and hostals. Sure won't be on bike these days.
