Hum, I'd search for 'wifi at camp xxx reviews', and call the camp and talk to them about what has worked for other campers. You might find someone with a longterm campsite to hook up with. I would as a plan b bring a long usb teather cable for my cell and share the connection with my laptop via wifi or route through it to a router. Hum and a ziplock for the phone ;) And have a plan c...not network games... some movies on disc/hd...a book. All those wireless hops may add alot of latency. An ipad with cellular prepaid (as it comes out of the apple store) can all be used as a bubble and you only need to pay for that month. there is no contract. This verizon jetpack is $80, and the plan is pre-paid. http://www.verizonwireless.com/prepaid/prepaid-jetpack/
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Ipkg The packages for dd-wrt have pretty much all the net stuff youd use on a linux box. I have one of these yagi outdoor pole mountable 25" yagi from amazon http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008Z4DNFC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I am just getting a new router set up and for noe just point the yagi to the area outside where I need it at the time. If you get a good line of site to your camp with the N router as bridge you might just connect your devices to it directly and leave the G out of the picture...I think it might degrade things if your devices do N. I haven't, but I'm interested in your results. I also go camping and have had to resort to getting a mifi which has a 10GB limit and I often go over. if there was a way to do what you're doing and limit my mifi use, I'd be interested. I'd also be interested to see if someone could accomplish with a Raspberry Pi.
