Very nice. Better then Idaho. Nice people, both camp hosts and state people. Our friend randy Crow never made it with the horses but they still let us stay in the equestrian area. Randy ended up having wheel bearing problems on his horse trailer. We highly recommend Oregon over Idaho. Idaho is backwards and has scary people
