First couple of years I attended, one of best things was the lack of cell phones, TVs, Internet/Wifi. It was all about two things... Riding & Riding.

Was wondering if they had wi-fi at the resort now that I have devices that I can use it on ! |

You can check their web site or ask Rick, but as of last year there was not only no Wi-Fi there, but no cell service and no Internet connection of any kind that I'm aware of. You can drive to Fontana Village and pretend you're staying there, and use the Wi-Fi and cell repeater they have in the lobby. They also have a desktop computer set up for their guests and party crashers. Should I bring my Champ? |

I thought the restaurant had a weak and sketchy wifi but I was never able to connect. I did find a good cell spot going towards Robinsville but could not find it on google earth - I'll probably find it on a ride down there though. |

There is an overlook about half way to Robbinsville that works for cell phones. The trees have grown up and can not see anything so it has become a cell phone lot. |

If youre on ATT, you can go to the fontana dam, one of the upper turnoffs to teh right, and sometimes you can peg a tower. The closest to Deals Gap for a good signal is the outskirts of Robbinsville. The repeater in teh Fontana only works for VZW, Last I was there, no ATT. Wifi is up but you have to get near the restaurant to get a signal, and its a small coverage area.

You are absolutely right, but I have good reason to not completely check out of the grid. Yes Jim if it isn't a big inconvenience bring your champ as I will be bringing mine, we will try to get a little flying in. |

The funny thing is that the Resort has a website and FB page that they post almost daily, maybe they don't post info from there? If they do have it, it's a pity they can't offer it for a fee for those who want wifi. |

They had it for a while, but the bastard that opened up across from them was stealing it. So they only use it when necessary. |
