WIFI
I am really frustrated with ALL camping guides. They say the campground has WIFI but when you get there it only works at a few of the sites and if it does work at your site it is very slow. Am I alone...

I've always laughed at the ones complaining about wifi in campgrounds. Realistically many rural campgrounds are extremely limited as to what can even be provided to them to begin with. Most high bandwidth networks are out of reach to rural campgrounds. Many are lucky if they have cable tv, Satelite is most times the only option.
Also the misconception of how wifi works. If you see it and connect to it, most likely it's working just fine. It's the bandwidth thats limited or nonexistent for you to use. Many don't consider the bandwidth needed to provide 40-60 users at the same given time to watch youtube, movies, etc. That type of bandwidth can be hard or extremely expensive to come by; by many campgrounds.
A true high bandwidth connection able to satisfy today's internet savy people, then have it transmitted via over the air through trees, campers, and terrain, may easily become a campgrounds highest startup and monthly expense. Oh, and then the campers don't want to pay for it either:h. If you really depend on the internet, I would suggest as others; 4G or LTE via tether.
Although many of these wifi complainers are the same ones who are upset there is not enough cable channels, or to many trees for there satelite dish etc. Maybe a campground is truely not the answer for these people. Maybe a parking lot or just staying inside "at home" would suit them better.;)just saying!
