Weak Campground wi-fi signal
Is there a truly a way to increase the wi-fi signal in a campground without spending an arm and a leg?

I never had any luck using the camp ground WIFI... They only work up close to the office building and after 4PM when everyone shows up they are useless... Too many users... Then the management comes out and says "no downstreaming movies"
We just use our cell phones to create a HOTSPOT and I also have an older VERIZON MIFI accoount that is good for 3GB dataplan each month... These are all protected good and only has me and my bunch on the setup... Others can see me but can't connect without an password...
The CELL PHONE or MIFI units are neat as they fit your pocket and you can walk around the trails or down to the beach and your tablets and other devices all still work...
Since I am using the VERIZON network I get great coverage just about anywhere we go. This includes my OFF-ROAD Camping way back in the woods along side a creek bed somewhere...
I gave up on the camp ground WIFI years ago and have never looked back...
We only use our cell phone and MIFI generated WIFI HOTSPOT for checking in with the kids, paying a few bills, and some searching of web sites...
We get all of the HDTV channels we want to watch using our OTA BATWING antenna picking up digital HDTV signals from the local towns which is free to the public... We love to watch the old TV shows big time like MASH and old cowboy movies... We get the local station news and network shows just fine... The OTA local station all seem to have one channel with live radar on it so being in our POPUP Trailer we get to track the bad storms in the area we are in pretty good...
All works great for us doing it this way... Public WIFI is just too risky for me...
