I would love to think I can be without my cell phone. Not since that fateful day last year when a boy at our campground almost lost his life due to severe burns from a campfire explosion. Access to 911 saved him. Also, we camp with folks with existing health problems. Camping somewhere without cell service is not an option and would be irresponsible. I can turn off my cell phone, but it will always be within reach.
The Campgrounds all have land lines. It is much more reliable than cell phones. And there is very little cell service at the top od the Blue Ridge.
