Better Wi Fi capture in campgrounds

I am currently using a pay as you go (internet on the go) device that is on the Sprint network(works less frequently that frequently). My cell is on the Verizon network but with Straight Talk there can be no tethering. Since we frequent Thousand Trail parks(need to get my monies worth)..often a trip to the Lodge provides less than stellar internet service on their network but being able to capture what little signal there is from the rv would be so much more doable that trekking over and then finding out you still can't connect.

No doubt, a hot spot cell phone or air card would be a viable solution but for our usage, a monthly cost just doesn't seem worth it. Honestly, I can do most everything on the phone but my wife wants to use the laptop.

I used to have the Millenicom service which was $90/MO for 20GB of data and it was on the Verizon towers. I recently cancelled that account and bought a Straight Talk hotspot at WalMart. I bought the 4GB plan for $40 that is good for either 4GB of data or 2 months whichever expires first. I am not sure what service it uses and it is only 3G but it works fine for what I use it. Not as fast as the 4GLTE from Verizon but I was leaving 10-15GB on the table each month with Millenicom.
