Grandview Campground

How does camping with an uninterrupted view of cascading waterfalls sound? Grandview Campground in Ashton, Idaho, offers a rare combination of electric hookups, secluded atmosphere, and breathtaking proximity to the powerful Lower Mesa Falls. Set along the scenic Mesa Falls Byway, this small, well-maintained campground is a serene retreat surrounded by dense forest and vibrant wildlife.

The campground features just nine sites, including two double sites—all equipped with picnic tables, fire rings, and electric hookups (15, 30, and 50-amp)—a unique amenity for a U.S. Forest Service site. Vault toilets and a fresh water spigot are available, and the presence of bear-resistant dumpsters underscores the wilderness area setting. With its mature forest canopy, the campground is cool, shaded, and offers a sense of privacy. Campers can easily explore the nearby Lower Mesa Falls from a short trail or take a scenic drive to the 110-foot Upper Mesa Falls, just a mile away, which boasts accessible boardwalks and panoramic viewpoints.

Located about 13 miles northeast of Ashton, this campground is also close to Harriman State Park, a haven for fly fishing, hiking, and wildlife observation just 11 miles away. For those craving additional adventure, the abandoned railway trail offers hiking and biking opportunities leading to West Yellowstone, while the Mesa Falls Recreation Area provides a front-row seat to osprey and eagles gliding through the mist of the falls. Both a peaceful weekend getaway and an ideal base for exploration, Grandview Campground delivers unmatched natural beauty and convenience.
