As Easter and May bank holidays wind down and your campsite catches its breath before the summer holidays, it’s the perfect time to consider improvements — and there’s one investment you shouldn’t delay: upgrading your site’s internet.
If guests have been complaining about poor WiFi areas or patchy access across your site, installing professional WiFi access points is one of the best ways to boost guest satisfaction and increase future bookings.
Even if you’re not a tech expert, upgrading your campsite’s WiFi doesn’t have to be complicated — and the benefits are huge.
Here’s everything you need to know to improve your site’s internet for short-term guests and give guests the seamless connectivity they expect.
What Is a Campsite WiFi Access Point?
A WiFi access point is a device connected to your internet router or modem that broadcasts a wireless signal your guests can connect to.
Campers and tourers can log in via a secure portal using a username and password — and from there, enjoy fast, reliable broadband, whether they’re browsing, video calling, streaming, or working remotely.
Because most campsites are spread out across large areas, multiple access points are usually needed to ensure full coverage. Some sites also choose to install indoor access points inside each accommodation for maximum speed and stability.
Why One Access Point Isn’t Enough
Trying to cover your whole campsite with just one WiFi access point might seem cost-effective — but in reality, it’s a recipe for guest frustration.
Here’s why:
❌ Overloaded bandwidth: With too many users on a single access point, the network slows down or drops altogether — especially when guests are streaming video.
❌ Dead zones: Large campsites with only one access point will always have areas with no signal at all — which can lead to poor reviews, especially if key zones like the pool, restaurant, or bar have no coverage.
A strategic, multi-access-point setup ensures strong, consistent internet for caravans and campers throughout your entire site.
How Are WiFi Access Points Installed at a Campsite?
It starts with a site audit.
At Camping Connect, we’ll send a technician to your campsite to assess your layout, identify signal blackspots, and recommend the best access point placement to achieve 100% coverage.
Depending on your site, installation may involve:
- Installing poles at strategic points across your park
- Cabling work to connect access points
- Optional internal installation in premium accommodation
Your own team can carry out these works, or we can help you find a trusted contractor. Once installed, our engineers will configure the system, activate connections between access points, and carry out testing to make sure everything works seamlessly.
What Performance Can You Expect with Camping Connect WiFi?
With a professional network in place, guests can enjoy the best wireless speeds available on your line — often up to 1 Gigabit/s in fibre-enabled areas.
But speed depends not just on how many access points you have, but also on your underlying broadband supply. If you’re still relying on an outdated or underperforming provider, we can help you explore switching.
Fibre-Enabled? Even Better.
If your campsite is in an area eligible for fibre, we strongly recommend pairing your WiFi access point system with a high-speed fibre connection. The result?
✅ Far greater capacity during peak periods
✅ Smooth video calls, streaming, and downloads
✅ Happier guests — and better reviews
If fibre isn’t available, don’t worry — Camping Connect will optimise your network to deliver the best possible experience using the connectivity available in your area.
