Going to camp this weekend and if memory serves me, the wifi signal inside the camper is pretty weak. Hotspotting really isn't an option as the wife and I will be watching movies in the evening and my son is an avid gamer. Are there any decent options that aren't exorbitant in price?

Why ghe hell you going camping just to vegetate and fiddle with electronics.

Yeah, the hotspot isn't really an option for your sort of usage - I was on wireless-only for years and never did have enough bandwidth for comfortable streaming. On Starlink now and swear by it but the mobile one costs more than the location-linked one and unless you're RVing across country probably wouldn't be an economical option.

So yes, the others are correct - look for an SSID on your cellphone and see if its network is secured or open. If it's open you're good to go. If not there are ways in but they aren't legal. Truth is, online isn't always an option at all out here in the sticks.

Also, within the link I showed you above, I found the following web site:

https://campgrounds.rvlife.com/

It actually has a map of anywhere you want to go and all the campgrounds around, you can select by region, state, county...

As you drill down through to a particular camp, it shows whether they have a campground wifi or not!
