On this same theme, I am looking for a campground in the Ft Meyers Florida area that has high speed internet as an option on site. I work at home in Upstate NY and in order to be able to work in FL in our RV, I would need a hard lined internet service to our site as I connect remotely via VPN. I am having a hard time finding even a way to search for a site with this amenity. Does anyone have any suggestions??
Although you would have to call and ask, many older parks that had the capability of providing phone line service at their sites can have DSL internet installed by the local phone company. I did that at a park in TX for several years; no one used the phone lines at the sites for much else, but DSL could be installed. Similarly, a lot of cable TV systems can support cable modems and internet, you just need to ask.
I'm not an expert, but I think you could also run your VPN over a cellular connection such as you would get from your phone's hotspot or a MiFi device. This might use a lot of bandwidth if you did it a lot but it is another option.
