There used to be a NFS CG at Maroon Lake. Amazing scenery. Closed for some years now.
Love the view from Devil's Garden CG in Arches NP.
Some sites in Yosemite Valley have amazing views, but oh the crowds :(
As noted the east-side CG's at Glacier NP must make the list.
Twenty years ago we used to boondock at a great place on the rim of Canyonlands. 4x4 with a PUP to get out there. Had to be careful on those night time potty calls. One wrong step and it was 2000' straight down. Camping is now prohibited there and all the access roads blocked.
Some of the beachfront sites at the Oregon SP CG's along the coast have quite a nice view.
I'm sure I'll think of more. But I must also point out the best scenery isn't from any campground. The first time one gets out of their car and walks up to Moraine Lake in Banff, one's jaw is just resting on the ground. Unbelievable.
