I'm a teacher and I've taken kids on camping trips. They all had their phones. We told them that this was meant to be an offline time and their phones would need to stay in their bags.
I had to tell two students to put them away and threaten to take the phone of one who did it again. Some of them used their phones in their sleeping bags after lights out, but most didn't. I didn't bother to enforce that one since during the day they forget the phones even existed.

I'm with you 100%. Of course I'm an anarchist and I generally don't like anyone banning anything at a government level. I think it's fine to enforce contextual community rules, I think it's even better to explain the reasoning for the rules and get consensus and buy in from those who are supposed to follow them. It's even better if the things you're doing are in fact more interesting than scrolling Insta...
My kids understand when phones are and are not appropriate
