camping trailers and camping vehicles. While the campground only stays open from 1 May to 30 September, camping in other seasons is possible after obtaining permission from park personnel. In recent decades, Skaftafell and the Öræfi district has shifted from a dependence on sheep farming to large-scale tourism. Skaftafell has emerged as one of the most popular locations for glacier tourism with most tours run on the nearby Svínafellsjökull (pre-2018) and Falljökull (post-2018). As of mid-2018, four large and several smaller organisations were running tours on the glaciers. In the summertime, park rangers offer guided walks and various additional events are also offered, such as lectures and children's activities.
