You might try a USB to HDMI adapter

Yes you can in many cases. What phone /tablet ..Apple or android or?
you have and what tv and its capabilities will dictate how.

Back in 2013 i was connecting my Motorola Zoom tablets to the tv using a hdmi adapter cable,
But now i " Mirror" the phone or tablet to Firestick connected to my TV the play store had apps gor "casting". Or " mirroring" depends on the TV or streaming device you have

I agree, but yes, depends on many variables involved! OP can google the question, to get lots of info, as to what works, or won't work.

I have an Apple iPhone and iPad. I can’t remember the brand of TV and im not near it to check right now, but it is a newer smart TV with HDMI connections.

Just to clarify, I don’t have Wi-Fi where I’m camping, but I do have my phone and tablet that I can use as a hotspot.

Apple branded hdmi dongle. About 50 buck's , at least they were . One thing I can tell you is Do not use the off brand 18-30$ look alikes as they don’t work or won’t work for long. The Apple system won’t recognize them.. I know this from personal experience.
Look for Lightning digital av adapter on apples site to know what it is. While there if just order it from them .
Using the dongle it uses your phones high speed data . The hotspot data I can guarantee you isn’t really unlimited and you’ll be cut off very quickly.

"Using the dongle it uses your phones high speed data . The hotspot data I can guarantee you isn’t really unlimited and you’ll be cut off very quickly."
Is a Blanket statement that is not supported without knowledge of his service plan

The amount of phone data available is dependent upon his mobile phone service provider,
The app is on his phone Not his TV , so TV hotspot WiFi connection is not an option its hdmi cable or mirror/casting
