    Helo, my name is Andy and I have what seems to be a very unusual need! My significant other has EMF sensitivity, otherwise known as someone who can't be around certain electrical frequencies such as wifi, power lines etc.

    I purchased a Class A RV in hopes of travel since see can't fly or stay in hotels for more than a night. I'm looking for RV parks or other parking solutions that either don't have wifi or that provide parking spaces that are more distant from each other than I've found at most RV sites. My goal is to spend time in Florida during winter months.

    I love traveling in my RV and need to find a solution.

    Thx

    This is a very unusual problem, and one I know nothing about. I don't know any parks to recommend, but perhaps one of our many members may have a suggestion. I will say that I think your best bet is to have a candid conversation with the owner of any park that you may be interested in. Always try to speak to the owner because he is able to make special accommodations that employees cannot promise or even know about. Also this may be too ridiculous to consider, but would there any way you can insulate your RV to block the frequencies that your significant other is sensitive to?

    wifi-free parks will be hard to find, but here are some suggestions that might expand where you can stay:

    1) purchase an EMF meter (i saw a few online for a couple hundred bucks). you can use this each time you arrive at a park to see what the levels are. You can also use this to determine what levels will affect your wife, and what levels she can live with. Also, you may find some sites in the park have poor or non-existant wifi/EMF fields (see next suggestion).
    2) before going to a park, ask about areas in the park that have poor or non-existant wifi. frequently, you may find a router at the office, but tge signal will fade out as you get away from the office. The staff will probably love to give you the sites that have poor or non-existant wifi.
    3) check out state and national parks. they frequently do not provide wifi in their campgronds, and people have to rely on their cell service for a hotspot.
    4) finally, read the reviews on this site. they may offer insite as to the existance/lack of Wifi at a given park, which may help you decide where to stay.

    Thanks for bringing this up—I'm also on the lookout for RV parks that either offer free WiFi or have a bit more space between spots. It's surprising how many places advertise WiFi, but it barely works unless you're sitting right next to the office. Would love to hear if anyone has specific recommendations that check both boxes: decent internet and a little breathing room!

    thanks for your post, but keep in mind, the OP is actually looking for parks that DO NOT have wifi at all (wifi free), not parks that have free wifi.

    I’ve had great experiences staying at RV parks with free WiFi, but finding ones with low-density spacing is a bit trickier. The quieter and more spacious parks definitely make for a more relaxing stay. If you’re looking for both, I’d recommend checking out smaller, family-run parks or ones that are off the beaten path. They tend to have less crowded areas and often offer free WiFi too. It’s always a good idea to call ahead to confirm WiFi availability and the space between spots

    The OP is NOT looking for free Wi-Fi. The want a Wi-Fi free (as in NO Wi-Fi) park. There's a BIG difference.

    To the OP: Your best bet for parks without Wi-Fi would be state or national parks, COE parks & BLM areas. And quite a few of them have more spacious sites....especially BLM.
