5GHZ wifi at campgrounds
I have read about the advantages of 5GHZ WIFI. Also have read that it does not penetrate walls, etc. very well. Are folks encountering enough campgrounds with 5GHZ systems to make it worth buying a WI...

Most any newer device will be compatible with the 5GHZ channels. However, for the reasons you mentioned (lower ability to penetrate trees, walls, etc.) and the fact it is has shorter range to begin with, you won't find parks too interested in adapting it as an Access Point protocol. All devices that can use 5ghz are backward compatible to the more common 2.4ghz, so having a 5ghz device is no problem.
Still interested in hearing what folks are seeing at campgrounds as they travel.
