Going camping is a perfect way to break away from the monotony, especially if you are one of those who vegetate in an office or work from home. And whether you get away for a few days, several weeks or a whole month on vacation, sooner or later you will surely need one of the mobile accessories that we have selected for you. Especially the last one.
With the warm weather we’re having in the northern hemisphere, we’re starting to want to go on vacation, right? And since the economy is not always there for long trips and hotel stays, focusing on camping is a solution that combines savings, nature and the outdoors. And camaraderie, camping is perfect for strengthening ties.
Protection above all
For leaving your cell phone in the sun, for accidentally putting it in the pool, for falling out of your pocket while we were barbecuing… Camping accidents exist. Our first section is therefore dedicated to accessories to protect the smartphone.
An ultra-resistant case
The classic transparent case is perfectly suitable for everyday use, but it may become useless in the event of an accident in nature. Our advice is to look for coverage that offers greater resistance than usual by considering the following factors:
- It should protect the entire body of the phone.
- Having extra protection around the edges is always a good idea.
- The material chosen must absorb shock. TPU is usually the usual compound, ultra-durable cases usually have multiple layers.
- That the case has an acceptable thickness: it will offer better protection against impacts.
In stores like Amazon there are many models for the most common mobile phones. All you have to do is search for “ultra-strong sling“.
Waterproof cover
While ultra-resistant is perfect for everyday camping, a waterproof cover is most recommended when you’re at the pool or the beach. These are generic models and suitable for most phones.
We opted for the following waterproof case from Spigen, an outstanding quality manufacturer. And two covers come with the order, 2×1.

So you don’t have to suffer for the battery
If you stay at the campsite for more than a week, you must use the electrical outlet on site. But since you never know when you will be able to recharge your electronic devices, our advice is to equip yourself with an external battery. Various batteries. And if you have one with a very large capacity, you will end up being grateful for it.
Extreme Battery
The more versatile the accessory, the better. USB A, USB C ports, charging indicator, which offers fast charging (both to charge the battery and connected devices) and, if possible, have wireless charging (if your cell phone is equipped with it). Our ideal capacity is 10,000 mAhbut if you have a large capacity battery or always have an outlet handy, maybe a 5000 mAh battery will work for you.
We’ve chosen the following three styles based on our own recommendations: they’ll all fit you perfectly. And they’re not too expensive.

High capacity external battery
In addition to batteries that will solve one or more phone charges, we advise you to take a large capacity battery with you to the campsite. Since we put one in our life, there isn’t a long trip we don’t enjoy. And, think ahead, make sure the battery complies with aeronautical standards, otherwise it will stay on the ground when you want to board a plane.
A large capacity portable battery This is usually around 25,000 mAh. We’ve chosen a pair of remarkable quality and reliability that will help you charge any electronic device, including a laptop.

Power plant
Does your campsite not have an electrical outlet and you want to be sure that any electronic devices you bring will be charged? No problem, you need a power station. Perfect to carry in the trunk of the car when needed.
There are small ones, as large as the trunk of the vehicle itself. We have chosen two areas of common ground.

Solar panel
It’s not that they are going to solve much for you, since you would need an efficient and large panel to be able to charge all your gadgets, but with an accessory like the one we found on Amazon, it should give enough to restart smartphone or external battery; with which to later recharge the phone.
Since the panels fold, the accessory doesn’t take up too much space in your backpack or trunk. And you should keep something in mind: the sun should hit the solar panel, not the phone. Keep your smartphone as far away from heat as possible.

Insect bite relief
Yes, the cell phone is also useful against one of the biggest nuisances of a campsite: mosquitoes and other insects. Because there is an accessory which, connected to the USB port of the smartphone, soothes stings by applying heat to the area. It’s not a magic solution, but the truth is that it works.
