With the proper support devices, cell booster, mimo antenna or yagi antenna on a 16' painters pole, I've never not had cell reception. Even out in the desert or miles from civilization in a forest. There is always a cell tower somewhere. You just need to reach out to it.

I should have mentioned that I did have my booster, 25ft pole with antenna on it as well and depending on what time of day I might be able to snag a little bit of signal for a short while. Dont forget in a campground its more than just you trying to get a signal, its everyone else too so reach out all you want too - these were my results

In my case the cell tower is sometimes 50 miles away or more. No booster, tall antenna and yagi is going to get a signal. I've tried. My campgrounds are often pretty remote FS campgrounds in mountains, in areas of the country where the population density is pretty low. Might drive 25 miles or more between ranches and kids go to grade/high school at a school with a dorm, coming home on weekends.
