Where to Get Fast Internet Camping Wifi
Camping and RVing is supposed to be about getting away from it all. In today’s mobile economy, however, that isn’t always possible, or even desired. Some RVers still want and need great connectivity when they hit the campground. Here are 7 great campgrounds with fast internet and camping WiFi across the U.S.
1. New Orleans KOA
The New Orleans KOA is a perfect example of camping WiFi done right. RV LIFE Campgrounds user JDC10 said of the WiFi at New Orleans KOA,
“We live in the age of WIFI technology and there is nothing to stop any RV Park across this country from investing in doing WIFI properly. This park receives 5-stars for their great WIFI.”
Other campers have equally good things to say about the New Orleans KOA, particularly the camping WiFi. In their review, The Aussie Cozzies added,
“Great WiFi and the free shuttle was fantastic. Escorted to site and the assistance to reverse in was great.”

2. Stargazers RV Resort
Headed to Washington? Stargazers is a brand new resort in Goldendale, WA. As you might expect from a new resort, the WiFi is great, as noted by Capt Carr.
“EZ pull thrus – 80ft. Good hook ups and great wifi. Located just off the Hwy 97 . We camped at Stargazers RV Resort in a Motorhome.”
The Stargazers RV Resort is located near the Goldendale Observatory, offering a chance to see the stars with a new perspective.

3. Mountain View Campground
The Blue Ridge Mountains are in your backyard at Mountain View Campground. This awesome resort is located in Hiawassee, Georgia is one of the highest-rated campgrounds on RV LIFE Campgrounds. At Mountain View, you can enjoy the beautiful majesty of the Blue Ridge Mountains and still have great WiFi. According to reviewers Gary and Helen Govoni,
“WiFi was very strong and fast. Was able to work from RV without problems. Owners are very welcoming and nice.”

4. Kaibab Paiute Band Tribal Campground
Beautiful views, an interesting name, and great camping WiFi define this campground. The highly-rated campground is located on the northern Arizona border, east of St. George, Utah as part of the Grand Circle.
Grand Circle is a beautiful, vast region located in the Southwestern United States. Encompassing portions of five states—Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, Utah, and Nevada. The Grand Circle contains America’s largest concentration of national parks and monuments, woven together by extraordinary designated scenic byways.
The Kaibab Paiute Tribal Council apparently felt that great WiFi would be important for RVers. Apparently they succeeded in this endeavor, impressing travel trailer owner, Bobinaz.
“Level sites. Easy to maneuver. Good hookups, great WiFi. Will stay again. We camped at Kaibab Paiute Band Tribal Campground in a Travel Trailer.”

5. Grand Junction KOA
Located on the southern edge of Grand Junction, Colorado, this KOA gets better every year. Offering a pool, great pull-thru and patio sites, quaint cabins, and of course, great camping WiFi. Its location on Highway 50 is convenient to Grand Junction, yet out of the way for easy RV access. Motorhome owners XenonImaGas enjoyed the facility and stated,
“Wonderful park, well maintained and very clean. Best WiFi of all of the parks we’ve stayed in. Nice pool, playground and mini golf. Showers and bathrooms were spotless. We camped at Grand Junction KOA in a Motorhome.”

Grand Junction is a great town. Large enough to have everything you need, but still has a quaint, small-town feel. Situated in northwest Colorado, it’s within a day’s reach of several great places like Denver, Moab, and Salt Lake City.
6. Boggy Creek RV Park
While Shiner, Texas is noted for its historic brewery, the local Boggy Creek RV Park proves that you don’t have to be a glamorous RV resort to have great camping WiFi.
With this simple logo, “We offer quiet country sites that are close to town,” Boggy Creek RV Park has ensured RVers won’t get bogged down when going online. Campground visitor DVCard85 assures us,
“Great customer service!! The park has recently added new restrooms and a hall. Both looked great. All sites are pull through. The park had excellent WiFi and full hook ups. The downside is no fire rings or other amenities and the sites are a bit close together. The location is nice as it is just on the outside of town and its right next to a large cattle pasture. The views are great. Overall the park has excellent hookups, WiFi and customer service. We would definitely stay here again.”

7. Camp Turkeyville RV Resort
Interestingly named and located near Battle Creek, Michigan, the Camp Turkeyville RV Resort has spacious back-in and pull-thru campsites with cement patios, turkeys, and great camping WiFi. Apparently the turkey’s aren’t just for show, as there is a turkey dinner on the Cornwell’s Turkeyville Restaurant menu. As to the WiFi, 5th wheel owners Tom & Sandy commented,
“Very clean, wide spaces, 2 pools, excellent staff. Great restaurant on site. A great place for a family. Great WiFi as well. We camped at Camp Turkeyville RV Resort in a Fifth Wheel.”

I would like to add another: Camp Rivers Landing in Pigeon Forge TN. Both 2.4 and 5.0 Ghz. Fast as lighting and it doesn’t slow down when the kiddies log in.
We have excellent WiFi throughout the park and always working to keep it that way. Feel left out as I doubt
you have ever been to our park.
What’s the NAME of your park? you did not mention that. thx
10/83 RV Park has the best WiFi I have seen in any Campground. They are in Junction,TX. They have WiFi that you can stream on. Great park with cable and pullthru sites.
Hideaway RV Resort in Myrtle Beach has very fast and consistently reliable WiFi. I stayed there before their WiFi upgrade and after. It’s very fast now.
Basing the assertion that RV parks have good wifi, on reviews of people’s anecdotal experience is pretty flimsy. What I would like to see start happening more in park reviews (and popular blogs should help encourage this) is a collection of actual data.
There are plenty of apps for iOS or Android that can measure WiFi signal strength, Internet (WAN) speeds, and monitor the stability of both. With actual numbers to talk about, we have some kind of a base to measure park WiFi on and truly know if they are better than others consistently.
I have been to many parks where the Internet is blazing fast, but only for an hour or two during the day or night. I have also been to parks where it is a slower experience, but very consistent without big fluctuations. Both of those scenarios can be ‘great’ for different types of use – one for big downloads and batch sending/receiving of large emails, and the other for continual contact throughout the day for email or messaging purposes.
As a community we need to actually measure these things more, and talk about it. Many RV parks think they have ‘great’ WiFi, simply because they have no idea what those numbers really are to the end users.
A couple of the TN State Campgrounds we’ve stayed at, had great Wi-Fi that was provided at no charge to campers.
We’ve camped at Mountain View and measured our download speed at 124 mbps. The owners told us that it is a fiber optic system and indicated that the normal speed is higher than what we measured that afternoon.
LOL Please, I’m at Kaibab the internet is not great, it takes five minutes to load a page and zero cell service to run a hotspot. Come here for quiet and not much else.
Another park to add – Nature Coast Landings in Crystal River FL. They installed fiber optic throughout the park several years ago with individual drops per site. The user supplies and sets up their own modem/security/wifi if desired. Great for folks working full time and need security. The high speed internet fees are included as part of the park amenities.
The Huntington/Foxfire KOA in W. Virginia also has great WiFi. I asked why theirs was so much better than other parks—they upgraded their package they offer because of so many “work from home” campers!
Reel Chill RV Resort in Rockport, TX just opened with 136 sites, DirecTV HD and fast Wi-Fi. Half gig internet
Chattanooga west KOA has great WiFi. Consistently above 75 mbs upload and download. Owner invested in fiber optics 2 years ago. Stopped cable and encourages streaming.
I have seen many “work from home” people there.
Hope this helps
The KOA in Charleston South Carolina has fibre internet. If you have your own ethernet cable just hook up to electricity pedestal If not they will loan you a cable.
