RoamLink cellular service
We use Starlink as our primary internet service nowadays, but for places where there are too many trees to see the sky, or for one or two night stays, and on travel days, we use an unlimited RoamLink Wireless plan from MobileMustHave.
RoamLink is a single SIM cellular service that works with all three major carriers, and is compatible with our Pepwave modem (MMH can also sell bundles with a modem). It automatically checks each of the carriers, and picks the one with the best signal.
So anywhere we go that has cell coverage from any of the carriers, we have network connectivity. Speeds vary, of course; usually not as fast as Starlink, but often fast enough to stream etc.
We used to use separate SIMs for each network, which was rather expensive. Paying for one cell service (plus our phones, plus Starlink), while not exactly cheap, is much more affordable.
A good internet connection is important for our work and leisure, so between Starlink and RoamLink, we’re almost always covered.
Check out RoamLink (this link will give you 5% off, and a little kickback for me, but I’d recommend it even without that).

Our review on Campground Reviews:
Beautifully tended campground
We stopped here for one night and were delighted with our stay. The owners and staff were all very friendly and welcoming, where it truly felt like they wanted to help, not just as a matter of course. Check-in was a breeze, and then we were escorted to our site, which was clean and in good condition. The pull-through was long enough for our 40-foot motorhome and tow vehicle without having to disconnect. They offer food delivery to your site, which is appreciated after a day of driving, so we enjoyed pizza, fried mozzarella sticks, and milkshakes. All in all, this was a pleasant stop and we’d be happy to stay again. We camped at Scottsburg Raintree Lake KOA Holiday in a Motorhome.

We were originally going to stay in our coach while it was being serviced, but we were feeling sick with Covid, so decided it’d be more comfortable to stay in a nearby pet-friendly hotel instead. So we did that, and were very glad we did.

Our review on Campground Reviews:
A bit expensive, but convenient
We needed a one-night stay on short notice, and this campground worked. It was a fairly basic site for $100. If we were staying longer and making use of the amenities, it would feel more worth it. Slightly annoying that the camp hosts told us we’d need to unhook our tow vehicle because it wouldn’t fit in the site, which was wrong–there was plenty of space to remain hooked up, and we would not have been in the road on either side. Site was mostly level and the utilities all worked well. We camped at Olive Branch Campground in a Motorhome.

Just a one night stop, so no real opinion on whether or not we’d stay here again; probably so, though we’d ignore the office saying their site wasn’t long enough to remain toaded if we did.
