Whether you’re going to rock out or have fun with the family, it’s officially festival season and these gadgets will make your camping experience even better…
SOULRA RUGGED RUKUS WIRELESS SOUND SYSTEM
This Bluetooth speaker is called rugged for a reason – wrapped in rubber, it’s splash and knock proof and given it’s created to be all-terrain, hopefully festival proof too! Connect your phone to it (via Bluetooth) and you can play your favourite festival tunes through the device. If you’re lucky enough to have a sunny weekend away, the travel speaker also comes with a solar panel which you can then use to charge your phone (using the USB output). £60.07
COBRA CP7500 JUMPACK CAR BATTERY CHARGER
After a very long weekend away, chances are you’ll be desperate to get back home to a hot shower, cup of tea and your own bed. What you definitely don’t want to find is that upon returning to your car, your battery has run down and that you’re not going anywhere. This is where the Cobra JumPack can help out. The chargeable power source is strong enough to jump start a car – in fact it even comes with jumper cables. However, it’s not just about its motor-charging capabilities, it can be used to charge your phone or camera and it also comes with an LED flashlight and even a strobe light for emergencies. £79.99
BLUE MOUNTAIN SOLAR SHOWER
One of the most common complaints about festivals is you don’t get to shower for days on end. With this product, you can forget going without a wash, as this bag will help you maintain your hygiene levels. Simply fill it up with water and hang it on the outside of your tent in the direction of the sun, the water will gradually warm up so that when you want a small scrub down, you can just open the valve and let the water flow. £7
SOULRA SCORPION
Festival camping necessities aren’t limited to sleeping bags, tents and cleansing wipes. You’ll also need a torch, stereo, bottle opener – the list goes on. Luckily the Soulra Scorpion will help you tick a few must-have gadgets off the list. Powered with a rechargeable battery, you can top-up the charge levels either by solar power or by winding up the hand crank. The device comes with a torch, radio and bottle opener. In addition, you can use it as a power source to charge up your phone battery and as it has an audio line input, you can play your own music collection through it too. £49.95

This selfie stick comes with a Bluetooth shutter control so just secure your phone in the stick, hold it up, and click the pebble-shaped control. There you go, you’ll have a constant reminder of just how wonderful your weekend away was. Available in other colours including pink, blue, black, red and white.
