   He won't know ahead of time if it's 5GHz or 2.4GHz with the best signal.   
      
   But I don't think he cares if it's Engenius or Mikrotik or Ubiquiti   
   equipment as long as it's around less than about $200 and if it can get him   
   enough signal strength on send/receive to connect to the "free" wifi at a   
   typical campground.   
      
   To do that it will probably need a high gain dual band radio & antenna (if   
   they make them in dual bands that is). Do they?   
      
   He'll probably need a high sensitivity receiver and a high transmit power   
   (although I'm not sure which is more important but I think the antenna gain   
   and the receiver sensitivity are more important than the transmit power   
   because in the end he's limited to whatever the legal EIRP happens to be).   
      
   Do Engenius, Mikrotik or Ubiquiti make a dual band radio and antenna with   
   legal EIRP and decent receiver sensitivity in the approx <$200 range?
