I'd like to piggyback on your suggestion. As stated by others getting cable broadband at a campsite will have a ton logistics involved and combine that with the basic infrastructure needed by the campsite and how close that campsite is to cable provides infrastructure that provides internet access would also be an issue. A cable modem will set you back about 100 dollars at best buy but you won't have any assurances that it will work when you get there.
If you expect to be in some questionable service mobile phone areas. I highly recommend this item but I think you will find that cell sites have risen up in a lot of off the beaten path locations now.
Wilson Electronics Sleek 4G - Vehicle Cellular Signal Booster for Single User
If I am not flying out to a customer site I am work from home. So this summer we took out TH out around the SE to get our kids some exposure to the rest of our country.
After hitting a few low signal areas in my home state I started looking for something to boost my phone and my 4g mifi signal. I have a background in IT and RF comms and knowing what it takes to get a solid connection I approached this device with some skepticism.
The kit comes with an antenna that has a magnetic base that is very strong so you can use this in the vehicle while on the move and we did just that on a few occasions.
You can get higher gain antennas which would help boost your signal but I found that the one included in the package was plenty helpful in the woods and mountains.
