Going back MANY years ago, quite a few campgrounds offered a dial-up desk. First come, first served, wait your turn.
Then they moved on to wi-fi, systems like Tengo-net which, depending on the cg worked fine, sometimes worked, or had spontaneous problems.
Campgrounds still have these options you can use (especially the KOAs) and I have my VERIZON 4G Mi-Fi for 50 bucks a month...that I use all year. At the house,too. Like right now.
On my cross country trips, there are places in, say Texas, where my VERIZON Mi-Fi simply doesn't work, (but my phone does) so I use the (KOA) system with no problems. Of course, one must protect the laptop from the bad guys, so I have (paid) NORTON, (free)CCleaner and (free) Malwarebytes. With phones, I'm still back in the dark ages with a stone dependable hard to damage flip (also VERIZON) but that's me.
