Wifi Internet deep in the woods? Not a fan of Campgrounds...any advice?

I'm going to be in Western North Carolina in Pisgah, Nantahala, and the Smokey Mountains this summer. I need a wifi or internet connection for my laptop when I'm off the grid in the deep woods on regular campsites or just spots deep in the woods. I am not a fan of campgrounds because I like to be alone with my group of friends with no others nearby listening to sometimes loud music and playing around with a lot of space. Can I get some kind of service to my laptop through a company satelite beaming me the web 24/7 anywhere in the country? Thanks

Do you have a smartphone? For most you are able to download programs/hacks that will transmit internet (tether) to your laptop.

What about those "laptop connect cards" form someone like verizon or at&t? Tethering is an option as shroomyjohn mentioned but this sometimes requires jailbreaking the phone or having a custom rom unless you want to pay an extra charge for tethering.
I think those connect cards work anywhere a cell phone would.
