WIFI

Free wi-fi doesn't mean they have to serve it to your door. Many places, you have to bring your laptop or whatever outside the office to get it. I'm not reliant on it.

DW loves her laptop so I always try to find places WiFi active. We've been fortunate that most everywhere we stay has good service. Even I have started taking mine when we travel but I just play games mostly. I do agree about the ratings including WiFi quality as some others.

Dang, I was really looking forward to getting some new leads because you surely know all the good sites.

Or change your network name so it doesn't say "SolidAxleDurango's Computer" ;)

I shall change my computer name to "creepy guy looking at porn in campsite 42"

I use a Jetpack from verizon it works pretty good but Im pleased when anything works where I live in the dead zone.

Of course I'm keeping them secret... I don't want others hogging my bandwidth!

Looking at this strictly from the point of view of the user, WiFi is one of the amenities advertised by the campground. If your site doesn't get WiFi they have not provided what they advertised.

If someone parks an airstream between you and the source which prevents you getting WiFi at yor site, then they have failed to provide the service they advertised. An inadequate layout of the WiFi system isn't the users problem.

Playing the devil's advocate:

This is why I think they all advertise "Free WiFi" rather than including WiFi as part of the full hookup that you paid for. What should you expect for free? And, to what extent should they provide available bandwidth? Just like cable TV, some campgrounds advertise it, but really all it is are a few channels that nobody wants to watch. Should all campgrounds that advertise cable provide everybody with 300 HD channels?

We all know nothing is free and that we are really paying for the "Free WiFi and Cable" at campgrounds, but how can you argue that something that is "free" is not good enough? You can't, and I really believe this is why these services that we really do pay for are advertised as "Free."
