Gallo Campground

Pros: Fairly dark skies, good sites, nice comfort facilities, nice visitor ctr. & archaeological info.

Cons: Rough road, no shade, some people arrived late & left motors running & headlights on

Staying at Gallo Camground is one of the best ways to fully experience the beauty, archeology, and trails in Chaco Canyon! This was my third time staying and I will certainly be back. The hosts and rangers are very friendly and helpful. The bathrooms are kept very clean. The night sky is incredible!

The hosts and rangers were very friendly and helpful. The bathrooms with flush toilets were amazingly clean. We are used to back country camping where it is BYOB (bring your own bathroom and pack it out). Flush toilets and sinks for hand washing were clean and such a luxury. The tent site was very comfortable. We were next to the group campsite. The group the first night was loud, inconsiderate and stayed up until after 11:30. The next night there was a group of elementary school age boys. They were delightful and were also in bed by 9:30, like we were. Yay. We will certainly come back if we can ever get a reservation again.

The camp hosts.were great. Joan gave us a handful of batteries to power our telescope. The bathrooms were clean but were missing paper towels and the blower was broken. Fire pits were clean as were the campsites generally. The park service needs to find a way to open the closed sections of the campground. We had a great time

Pros - Park host was great, kept the place up well, with exceptionally clean bathrooms with running water, clean well maintaied roads, trash cans, etc. Enjoyed the petroglyphs panel at camp, and the interpretive sign regarding vandalism. Suggestions for improvements - A communal shade structure somewhere at camp would be nice, as it is a very exposed campground, and the cliffs area with some shade is now roped due to a rockfall. There was a giant ant hill at one of the camping pads with biting ants, and we could have asked to move camp but we just went with it.

Lovely quiet campground and wonderful camp host..

We were not able to get to the park due to the muddy roads.

Great campground with clean facilities. One of the most amazing national parks Ive ever been to! A mystic window into the past.

We came in a small RV and were prepared for no electrical connection, water, hot showers, or sewer service. We were pleased to find that drinking water was available and there there were nice bathrooms with flush toilets. The sites were nice with adequate space between adjacent sites. Of course, the road in (from the north) was challenging and very rough in places, but not too bad if one is not in a hurry. Of course, seeing and learning about the ruins makes it completely worthwhile. The visitors center is excellent. We wished we had had a bit more time and would come again.

Easy to Reserve. Clean simple site good for med/large tent. Next time I am hoping to get a site closer to canyon wall. Will for sure reserve again.
