but if the onsite login requires accessing via a webpage then it wont be that simple

You might try a WIFI extender. Set it up on your lap top then connect your spiderbox with the Ethernet cable

Building on Echelon's advice,
I use one of these Huawei E5332 via the 3g network but it will pickup local wi fi hotspots all you need to do is put in the security code of the campsite's wi fi hub and your away. It should give better results than using the 3g network plus you don't have the extra hassle of buying a sim card to access a network.
With this model you can add an aerial for better reception as well.
If the Spiderbox does not have a wifi connection then there are other devices on the market (Solwise) that do the same as as the Huawei E5332 but have an Ethernet port but they are more expensive, so wifi link to campsite, Ethernet link to stb
