There are other options like:
Steinsholt ( http://ww.steinsholt.is ) which is on the way to takeoff.
Leirubakki ( http://www.leirubakki.is ) on the east side of takeoff.
And Airbnb ( airbnb.com ) has number of options (search selfoss to get close to the HQ)
Cottage rentals:

And farmstays:

I know some visitors will actually just buy some cheap tents and stuff and treat it as single use (for the trip).
The shops have not started selling summer stuff, but this is feasible option if you agree in staying in a tent :-)
