You could try, but most campground WIFI is so slow and overloaded that it will probably not work. Also campground WIFI is not secure so anyone on their system could possibly cause problems with your TV.
I agree that it is tough to find Internet access in RV parks that does a good job of supporting streaming TV well. I have stayed places where it worked fine.
However, I did not have a smart TV I have a Roku connected with a Ubiquti Nanobeam WiFi client that goes up above the roof when we park.
As far as privacy and security, any properly configured public WiFi system uses something called "client isolation". That protects you from other users on the local network.
I wish RV park owners, as a whole, would put a little more effort into proper WiFi installations. A significant part of my work for a number of years involved installing wireless networks including hospitality systems in hotels and RV parks.
The park owners that are willing to cut loose with a few more dollars to have a well designed and installed system are able to provide their guests with quality service.
