If you disregard all the hoopla about "unsecured" wifi, I seriously doubt you can find any example where someone logging on to a campground wifi system suddenly had their bank accounts drained. Yes, there is the theoretical potential, but your life insurance also covers the potential that you killed by a meteorite, something that has never happened in recorded history. Then there is the fact that a campground is a target poor environment. Even if someone was technically skilled to actually steal and utilize the information sent over unsecured hotspots, they wouldn't be targeting RV parks. The guests at parks use a tiny fraction of their wifi time sending critical information and the odds are just as great that thief would find an account with a $50.00 balance, rather than a couple of million. This fear of campground wifi systems is vastly exaggerated.
