Campgrounds, RV parks tout Wi-Fi

If you happen to drive past campgrounds or recreational vehicle parks this summer, chances are you’ll see the signs that advertise Wi-Fi access right up there with showers and propane.

With wireless Internet access, campers often can log on to the Internet from their campsites without going to any special area of the park.

“We’ve become a society where e-mail is as important as our phone for business and personal communications,” said Jef Sutherland, vice president of information services for Kampgrounds of America Inc.

Wi-Fi campgrounds and RV parks can be found on the Internet. Websites listing Wi-Fi facilities include www.wififreespot.com/rv.html. For listings for Kampgrounds of America sites, go to www.koa.com/wireless/.
