Glad you asked...
Internet - I used my Verizon Hotspot all over Alaska with no real problems - there is WiFi at the campground and free at the coffee shop a 3 minute walk from the campground - when I used it, I always bought a cup of coffee and a sweetroll, it is a little faster than the campground. But my Verizon hotspot worked great in the campground - ATT is about non-existent in Alaska, so it may or may not be a reliable connection. I did NOT use my Verizon Hotspot in Canada - they want a fortune - I was lucky most campgrounds in Canada had WiFi slow but good enough for email and banking - I also used a few McDonalds - egg MsMuffin and coffee and relaxed and used their free internet!
There is cable TV in the RV Park in Haines - you will need a double female connector which they have at the office, but I had one and carry one with me so if I ever need it, got one at Radio Shack for about 3 bucks. Sat is almost non-existent in most of Alaska with a small dish, you need one of those real big permanent ones for any chance at all - and there are huge mountains that block you view of the Southern sky - although there were a couple of the big bus class A's that managed to get a signal in Haines, but why with cable??? Most campgrounds I was in traveling Alaska do NOT have cable...but a few did and I managed to get the news and weather when I needed it!
There is a girl fishing guide who runs out of the marina a very short walk from the RV Park in Haines who is very good, Joyce at the campground has her cards and can get you in touch, but Joyce can also hook you up before you get there, contact her via email.
HERE!
Tell her I told you about it....
BTW - here is the link to their
website!
Tell them I said hello....
Just so you know and are not surprised - the RV Park in Haines is small but in the absolute best location with a great (fantastic) view but you will be packed in pretty tight...Joyce will help you get backed in, the other RV Park does NOT have a view and sits right between two main roads and is quite noisy...does have grass and some trees, but nothing to compare to being close to town and restaurants and that fabulous view....
Have a great time and thank you for the compliment on my pictures, it is what I do and one of my joys in life and great to be appreciated.
Any more questions - just post em...I will try to answer!!
