Woodrow's top ten reasons a smartphone is a camping essential

You might feel that going camping is the perfect excuse to disconnect (and frankly we'd agree with you), but there are plenty of good reasons to take your smartphone away with you...

• All those lists you organised campers make!
• "Are we nearly there yet?" Sat nav and maps ensure you arrive in good spirits
• That easy-to-use compass app
• To use as a mirror so you don't have to pack a separate one
• The handy camera - great for catching that perfect sunrise!
• To Google how to remove a tick!
• Campfire cooking inspiration (and timings!)
• A torch app to help find your way to the loo at night
• An actual phone to call for help! (Ran out of loo roll again!?)
• Games to keep everyone entertained when it inevitably rains
