So in a spare moment of time I find a roof mounted satellite dish offered in Camping World...
My question is how prevalent is satellite TV offered in campgrounds? Do I spend the money on this or not? Thanks for your insight on this. TomB

Tom, the way I read this is that you are asking if the campgrounds offer satellite tv. The answer to that is "NO", they don't. Some offer cable tv through their own cable service, which in turn has its own antenna.....but the campgrounds do not offer satellite tv. If this is the case, I don't think you has a good grasp on the whole concept.

Occasionally RV parks do offer satellite service. R&D Family Campground in Milford, Virginia is one of them. They have various DirecTV dish antennas permanently mounted around the park and you just plug in to one of them. If you have your own DirecTV box, you are good to go. If you do not, you can rent theirs to use during your stay. I have not seen a lot of parks set up this way but some do offer satellite service.

You know, in all my years of rv'ing and all the rv parks I've stayed at, I've never heard of this being available. This has gotta be a heavy investment by the rv park.

So if this indeed the case, I retract my post above.
