Visiting Iceland with 5 year old boy

Hello, we are planning on visiting iceland this September and deciding to either bring our 5 year old son with us or just leave him with the grandparents. For those of you who travelled to iceland with kids. Did you find it difficult to do the activities with small kids… is the hiking trails difficult? We are planning on renting a campervan for 10-14 days and stay at campsites to go through the ring circle

Thank you

We just got back with a five year old and she loved it. Like all travel with kids, manage expectations. We definitely had to skip the last stop a couple of days because she was too burnt out. Also playgrounds and kids stuff (including the water park) really does refresh them, so stop at literally any playground you see. With my kiddo at least she likes to be comfortable so offer changes of clothes, shoes, etc. We could have used a second pair of waterproof hiking boots.
