Is it really possible to provide a signal over a campground, or are we just talking about people taking their devices to a confined area where the signal is strong?

And then lastly.. is there any way that might enable certain sites to have access for a period of time, then the access moves on to other sites..
In my experience, the state parks in Texas which have wireless Internet, have wireless mostly all over the park - no need for dedicated reception sites. That said some campsites have better reception than others based location relative to the signal source.
I think that its slowness is due to 2 main factors - 1. Too many devices connected, and 2. Old equipment. Since the SPs are funded by fees etc, I would think that replacing the Internet service Provider and/or router would be low priority.
We end up ditching the CG WiFi and using the cellular service on our phones as hot spots.
I dont'believe that wireles signal can be restricted to certain areas. There is a circle of service centred on the router and any other signal boosters that might be installed.
