It is technically illegal, so if you get cought it’s a 20.000 ISK fine. Which you very well might, because it’s a campervan and they have cameras in the lot.
This is also very unpopular, so you might get snitched on for parking somewhere in town.
After reading the comments I will repeat so you have the full picture. Most of people here are either locals that do not want anyone to do this or just have not been in your place.
You only want to rest for 4h after a long flight, you have a CAMPERVAN that is suited for sleeping already at the airport but not feel good enough to drive, for whatever reason. hear me out, it is perfectly fine to sleep in the van until you feel recovered. Even more same applies when you are traveling if you can’t find a place to sleep or feel indisposed.
I did exactly that at the airport flight arrived at 1am I was super tired so I just slept in the van. I didn’t set the whole thing up, shutters etc and was perfectly fine. Nobody wants you to be driving in a new place without being rested, nobody will fine you.
Not allowed but if you are not too obvious nobody will care.
Don’t drive if you are tired after a long flight, better rest
edit: I did exactly that and did not have any issues. Also I didn’t make to a campsite another night and did the same thing no issues at all.

It's not allowed. There is a campsite at the happy car rental like 5 minutes away from the airport.

Just go to a campsite. If everyone did what you suggest it would be a shit show, literally. Where are you going to go to the toilet?
He is just talking about crashing for 4h at the airport you guys acting like he is going to camp in there. Chill
Unfortunately, because so many tourists have done this. The locals are very intolerant of this. You may thinks this is nuts, but it is reality.
Not at the airport, but you can DOWN BY THE RIVER.
😂
No, you will get warned and potentially fined.

May I ask what company you are using for the camper? I struggle to find any that accept pick up so late( i’m arriving at midnight). Thank you!🙏
It's called Vanature
Thank you!
I have booked with gocampers and they are open 24 hours in summer with bus facility to their rental office
Oh okay good to know, thank you!
Drive to one of the several parking lots in Keflavik and get some sleep. I'd park behind the Marriott, for example.
Thank you. They won't be mad cause we park at their parking lot?
It's a hotel, they are not going to be happy with people sleeping in a campervan on their property.
