Need internet advice
I'm a relatively new RVer and was kind of forced into the situation. I won't bore anyone with any of the insane year long details that have lead up to this point; let's just say through some miscalcul...

Are there any public libraries or other hotspots where you could do some of your office work, using their free wifi?
Unfortunately that's not an option, I work 8 hour days and I'm pretty sure the library would frown on me bringing my desktop into the library lol.
DSL doesn't use or require a dish of any kind. It runs over telephone lines. What is the Park's ISP? They would be the best bet to talk to about getting a dedicated service for your use. If the service requires a wired connection and the park won't let you pay to have a line run to your rig, maybe it's time to find other accommodations.
They use MTA, they quoted another RVer here 1000 dollars for installation since they'd have to trench a line all the way to his RV.
Also the DSL up here does use a satellite dish, cooped with a large antenna. The logistics of it would cause me to write a report about 20 pages long. Classic normal DSL would use a telephone line, cooped with a satellite dish. The common misconception is that the dish downloads and the line uploads or some such. In actuality, it's the line that downloads and the dish that uploads. Back in the early 90's, internet was starting to boom and people were needing more and more bandwidth to satiate there needs for consumption. Telephone companies already had all of these lines ran to all of these houses thanks to Title II utilities. In fact, to do everything they did for telephone, they severely over compensated there needs and only used about 1/8th of there line for telephone communications. Thus high speed internet was born, by lighting up the remaining line JUST for data transfer.
This has been your daily dose of trivia brought to you by someone who actually learned one useless fact from college lol.

Hi Verizon has a 50 gig plan for $300. If 3g would be fast enough there are resellers charging $15 per month for unlimited access.
Check AT&T supposedly they offer service and they do have an unlimited plan (or so I'm told).
That's slightly outside of my price range currently, since I still have to pay to stay here in the RV park. Thanks for the suggestion though :)
