Are the wireless-G and the wireless-N routers going to be relatively close to each other? Is so, you could run an Ethernet cable from a LAN port of the G router to the WAN port of the N router. Yes, you would be running a double NATed configuration. I've been running that way for over a year now because I didn't like the signal strength phone/Internet router that Comcast provided and it has worked well enough that I haven't gotten around to getting them to put their equipment in bridge rather then NAT mode. For your local wireless devices, it would be best to make sure that your N network is running on non-overlappings channels from whatever the camp's G network is using. The above presupposes that you can get your wireless-G router to actually connect wirelessly to the camp's network. I don't use DD-WRT so I can't comment on that.
