- Art_DavisExplorerI agree with those who say they've never had "awesome" internet. (I am about to turn seventy, so "awesome" to me basically means something like King Kong on top of the Empire State Building!)
But I would like to respond to the idea that it is all those idiots who try to stream at the same time. Consider the fact that most (well at least better quality) motels seem to deliver decent service. Why can't rv parks do the same---particularly now that they are beginning to charge rates comparable to those of motels. (Right! I know I am overstating the case a bit here to emphasize the point, but campground rates are getting there!) - diveman52ExplorerIf your that hooked on having internet why not just get a MI FI or other device with carrier like ATT, Verison etc.

Hotels are usually built where they can get decent backhaul to connect their Wifi to . Campgrounds are usually in rural areas where decent backhaul connection is not available . - Bill_SatelliteExplorer II

Indigo Bluffs RV Resort near Empire, MI. Decent 4G and I was able to download the season 1 of "Breaking Bad".
4G is cellular service. The OP is talking about free WiFi provided by the campground. Hope you had unlimited service on your cellular plan when you downloaded season 1 via 4G! - TechWriterExplorer

Clearly not what you posted, but thanks for the correction. - EPenneyExplorerPomo RV Campground in Fort Bragg, CA had very strong Wi-Fi when we camped there last month. They have a Wi-Fi antenna mounted way up on a pole, roughly in the center of the CG.
- Bill_SatelliteExplorer IIWhile it's always nice to have a strong signal in your RV, a strong signal is not always going to be an indication of the service available. Even if good speeds were available many RV parks must block many of the most popular download options (video streaming, You Tube, large downloads) to maintain a reasonable level of service for everyone else.
