Grandview Campground

📌 Mesa Falls Area 📍 44.175406,-111.313392 ⛰ 5,931 ft

Grandview Campground can be found at the "overlook" for Lower Mesa Falls. We saw no sign with the campground name on it and found it more by chance than from signs. The campground is situated on the east side of a deep canyon and overlooks Lower Mesa Falls (85ft). The campground is fairly level and is covered by a mature forest with heavy undergrowth.

RV Dump Site

I have not found an RV dumping station in this area.

Host On-Site

"Richard" was the host for 2012 and he was very proud of Grandview Campground. He seemed to be a great host.

Phone Service

There is no pay phone here but there is one at the Upper Mesa Falls Scenic Area. We didn't have service with our ATT cell phones.

Garbage Services

There is a bear resistant dumpster. Please use it as these woods are home to both black and grizzly bear.

Recreation

Fishing

Fishing in Henry's Fork and other nearby streams can be quite good for trout and whitefish. Check the regulations for restrictions and limits.

Boating

Swimming

Recreation

While camping here, I would spent some time hiking down to and along the river. I would imagine the fishing in the hard to reach spots would be outstanding. A good close up photo of Lower Mesa Falls would be great too.

Wildlife

Deer, elk, black and grizzly bear could be seen here. One might find wolves, fox and many smaller animals and birds.
