Adding WiFi to your campground doesn't have to be complicated.

Adding WiFi to Your Campground: A Game Changer for Modern Campers

Camping has long been associated with unplugging from technology and reconnecting with nature. However, in today’s digital age, campers increasingly expect access to WiFi for various reasons—whether it’s checking the weather, mapping their next destination, remote work, or simply staying in touch with loved ones. Adding WiFi to your campground can enhance guest satisfaction, attract more visitors, and even open new revenue streams. Here’s what you need to know to get started.

1. Assessing Your Campground’s WiFi Needs Before diving into installation, we consider your campground’s size, layout, and expected usage. Key questions we will ask:

• Will you offer WiFi in specific areas (e.g., main lodge or entrance, RV sites, tent areas) or throughout the entire campground?
• How many simultaneous users will need access?
• What type of internet activities will your guests likely engage in (basic browsing vs. streaming and remote work)?

2. Setting Up a Secure and Manageable Network Once the site survey is complete and we know the exact equipment, we will get your network up and running:

• Offer a guest network separate from your internal operations for added security.
• Implement password protection or a captive portal for access control.
• Consider bandwidth limits to prevent a few users from consuming all available bandwidth.

4. Monetizing Your WiFi Offering WiFi can be an additional revenue stream for your campground. Some options include:

• Offering free basic WiFi with a paid option for higher speeds.
• Charging a daily, weekly, or monthly access fee.
• Partnering with local businesses for sponsored access in exchange for advertising.

5. Marketing Your WiFi-Enabled Campground Once your WiFi is set up, use it as a selling point in your marketing efforts:

• Update your website and and Set Your Sites reservation platform to show that Wifi can be added as an item at checkout and highlight WiFi availability.
