The campgrounds noted below are by state, then alphabetical for ease, they are not in order of our trip. Currently we both have Verizon for cell coverage and use a Verizon jet pack for our internet connectivity. We do not have a cable service such as Direct or Dish . Also, rates will typically be discounted when the stay is longer. Our perspective comes from a big rig.
