Do you want a WiFi booster or to boost your Cellular signal?
If looking to boost a parks WiFi signal you may be disappointed in the results.
Boosting a parks signal may not get you any more speed and typically the issue is bandwidth, or in simple terms how much traffic the parks circuit can handle.

I agree with rhagfo. Forget Campground wi-fi, not enough speed or bandwidth for reasonable use.

I purchased a cell phone booster; Drive Reach OTR from https://www.weboost.com/. Gets me good reception when there is a weak signal. I have cell service from Visible which is truly unlimited (no throttling) data. I use the setup at home and while on the road. It's great since all of our devices stay on the same wi-fi connection (login and password) everywhere we go. Even have our own internet hot spot while traveling down the highway.

The only real reason to pursue a campground WiFi connection is so that your inCommand (if you have it) will have a way to phone home. (You could leave your hotspot there, but then you wouldn't have it with you.)

Ok so you lost me with taking your hot spot with you away from the RV. Your phones don’t need a hot spot, and if you have a non cellular device has a need for an internet connection your phone can act as a hot spot for that device.
We leave our hot spot in the 5er all the time, as it is the router for our printer, and dog cam.
