Malheur County Fairgrounds — Local services in Ontario

Not really accommodating for large motorhomes with slides. Smaller rigs had no problem making the tight turns. Access is into the sites are tight turns and the sites are narrow. Our neighbor did not feel comfortable putting out his living room slide even though we told him we could still get out our door without hitting his coach.

All sites had power, but only two water spigots that were already taken.

There were no public restroom facilities or showers available as they were all locked during our stay. We had a hard time finding how to get to the RV spots as there was no signage and some gates were locked.
