James Canyon Comments & Reviews
Visited James Canyon Campground lately? We'd love to hear about your adventure. Did you find us useful? Did we forget something? Anything our community should know before heading out to James Canyon?
I stopped at this campground recently, but we didn’t stay. It appears to be more of a roadside picnic area on the side of a busy highway.
