Yes, it is more than possible to go Camping in Iceland during the summer. People go camp in Iceland all year. However winter camping requires additional equipment.
Unlike popular believes Iceland just isn’t that cold. Iceland has a maritime climate which minimizes temperature swings, and in addition Iceland is granted the privilege of hot air coming in due to the Golf Stream. Iceland has over 200 campsites, the early birds open in the beginning of May and the latest close at the end of September.
The average summer temperatures in the capital, Reykjavik, are around around 11°C, with average highs of 24.3°C/76°F in July. The north and east of the country are normally the warmest during summer. Snow is not as common in Iceland as you’d think and only falls intermittently in Reykjavik. Snow is more frequently seen in the North, but almost only in winter.

You can find the name and location of the 41 campsites included in the Camping card. See www.campingcard.is
The camping card is valid for two adults and up to four children to the age of 16. Please note that you may be required to pay a special nightly tax at some campsites.

There are over 200 equipped campsites around Iceland, you can find information about most of them on the following websites:

Iceland has over 200 campsites that are spread across the country. You can always be pretty sure you’ll find a good campsite nearby.
Once at a campsite, you can expect to find electrical hook-ups, running (drinkable) water and restrooms. Most campsites also have a playground for kids, and a communal charcoal grill (charcoals not provided). Most campsites are open plan and therefore allow campers to choose the spot of their fancy, so make sure you have a good look around before you pitch your tent.

Please note: You can and should drink the faucet water in Iceland, it is clean and fresh.

In general, travelers are allowed to encamp on campgrounds and designated rest areas. A parking space by the side of the road is not a rest area unless it is marked as such. It is not allowed on privately owned land, protected areas, and on cultivated land. And yes, a field of grass qualifies as cultivated land. The landowners harvest grass to feed the livestock over winter. You also have to be careful and considerate, when choosing a place to stop for hikes, as Icelandic roads don't have wide "shoulders". So stay away from blind turns, hills, or other places where stopping a vehicle can cause danger or inconvenience to others, or yourself.
And remember to think of bathroom solutions before turning in for the night. Organic or not, no-one likes finding human waste, and littering is a crime subject to high fines.

Pro travel tip: You can drive up to farms and ask landowners permission if you want to spend a night on their land. 

Iceland is very safe. It is in fact one of the safest countries in the world, as well as being the most developed country in the world according to the UN.
