CP Resorts Wi-Fi

As Jeff said, it all boils down to the cash. The equipment needed for that kind of installation is widely available, it's just going to cost you. It would be one thing if hotel guests were just checking emails and Facebooking, but throw in a few people Skyping or streaming Netflix, and that available bandwidth dries up pretty quick.

Wifi signal in Breakers must be pretty good. I was anchored off the Cedar Point Beach down by Magnum and Bubbles and actually had a very good wifi signal coming from Breakers in my boat on Saturday.

On another website, someone reported that the wi-fi was working great for them. But halfway through their stay, when they logged on, they had to choose between a free (slower, but acceptable speed) version or $9.99 a day for the fastest speed. Anyone have any feedback on that?

I used the free on my phone this weekend from my room and it was great.

Late to the party here, but why even still have camper village? Why not just build another hotel on that plot of land? I imagine the money that could bring in would be a lot better than people and their RV's.

There's no excuse not to have wifi anymore if you're running a hotel or campground. It's also very trivial to tether smartphones or buy a cellular data hotspot.

Is it just me or does anyone get like no service or Internet connection anywhere in the park?

We were there last week and wifi was spotty at best, especially in our room at Breakers. I think it was better on the beach. I did have to select between free and $9.99, but my kids said they never had to.

I happen to really enjoy camper village and would most likely not stay on property as much if it were bulldozed for another hotel.

CP doesnt need another hotel on the peninsula. Camper Village fits nice there and is definitely used. It was pretty well booked solid this past weekend. Even the original circle was just about full.

I use Camper Village quite a bit during the season and its a great place to pull the RV and kick back and relax.

I would guess the margin on campsites is pretty good.

Perhaps, but I imagine the margin on multiple floors of hotel rooms that don't suck and are reasonably priced would be higher. Just throwing that out there.

You can disconnect if you own your own company. Just sayin.

The margins on hotel rooms is very good--if you don't count the initial cost of building said rooms.

Right now CP has enough rooms to mostly, but not completely sell out. There is enough demand that they can charge high prices (a good rate of return) and yet sell most of the rooms.

Building more rooms would increase supply without increasing demand. (Few of the campers would junk their RVs and stay in the hotels) Also, they would have to spend $$$ to build. Both of these lower margins.

Conversely, the camp grounds are already built and capture paying customers that would stay at other camp grounds--NOT the hotels. This does not hurt margins at the hotels.

If you are wanting to remove the campsites to build another hotel, you are going to have to remove the cabins and cottages at Lighthouse Point as well. I seriously doubt the return on that investment would make it a smart financial move. Its not like that property isn't producing a solid return as is.

If you want to remove the campsites to build another hotel, you're going to have to physically remove me from the property first.

I've said it here before, "Keep your hands off my Camper Village!"

What carrier do you have? My Verizon LTE holds up great in the park.

The only time we have any issues with service is when the park is swamped....other than that, it is good.

If the quality of the rooms increases enough to justify the cost the rooms will sell out every night. I'd love to stay on point more often.

Stayed 8th floor sat & sun WiFi worked in room, not great, but it worked
