What Guests Are Saying
Gallo Campground at Chaco Canyon offers a beautiful, serene experience with well-maintained facilities, including clean restrooms and potable water. Campers appreciate the stunning night skies and the opportunity to explore significant historical sites with fewer visitors. While some campers noted issues with noise from others and a lack of privacy between sites, the overall atmosphere is peaceful, and many look forward to returning for another stay.

Campground and visitor center were both excellent. The road into the park was 20 miles of the worst washboard I have ever been on. There were car parts in the ditch that had shaken off of cars and campers. It is the county portion of the road and the park supervisor and employees said there was nothing they could do.

This is a wonderful campground and a magnificent place to visit beware of the road it's 21 miles of bad stuff
But it keeps the visitor count low so no large crowds we really enjoyed ourselves

60% of the campsites were vacant, but we were only able to reserve 1 night, fortunately we were able to camp with some friends there,I think that if someone reserves a site and doesn’t show up be 9pm that site should become available to rebook.

Great campgound that was very clean. It almost made you forget how remote it was with clean flushing toilets and drinking water. There is potable water at the campground along with a dumping station. There is one station at the campground, not at each site. We loved staying here and then biking to the Chaco ruins. The road to get here is as terrible as they say with about 20 miles of washboards. That is why it was great to camp here that you didn't have to take the road twice in 1 day. The road going south was better for our camper leaving. Very friendly and helpful camp hosts too.

A gorgeous, quiet campground. We were lucky to have a clear sky to experience the “dark sky”—so many stars! Several neat trails from the campground. If you’re making the trek to Chaco Canyon, staying here is a must!

We were never able to make it to this campground. Fifteen miles from the campground the paved road turned into a washboard gravel road that was impassible in an RV. We also met other visitors in cars and vans that turned around as well. Our reservation was wasted. The condition of this road is BAD, and should be fixed.

While the 13 miles of seriously washboarded road took us an hour to travel, it was well worth the effort. We loved Chaco Canyon. The campground was perfect for our needs. The hike right out of the campground was fun as well. The camp hosts were friendly and helpful. I do recommend getting a reservation. We were there in a not so busy time, so there were a couple of campsites available for those brave enough to risk it. There are only 42 sites, so it's safer to reserve a campsite. There was a dump station and fresh water for our camper, but we mostly dry camp, so it was an added perk to have those.

Beautiful location. If you're driving in from the north, plan on an HOUR to drive the 21 miles as you'll be on intense washboard and driving 11 - 14 mph. I've gotten a punctured tire on the road before & my teenager got a flat, so beware. Totally worth going. Astonishing place.
