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.

Great camp ground, very clean bathrooms, with motion lighting. Gald to see limit sizes on RVs , tent camping locations large and flat. No generator noise ...hope it stays that way. Camp hosts were very friendly and humorous ! We were fortunate to attend two guide presentations by retiring ranger Steve of 22 yrs experience at Chaco. Weather was great for the 5 days . Hiked every trail in Canyon, mornings were mostly by ourselves on trail.

Campground was very well maintained including the bathrooms. Our site had ample parking for 2 vehicles and a large bordered tent square. Rangers and Host very nice. Some trails and historical ruins right at the campground. Others in the park very close.

Fabulous campground to get away from EVERYTHING! This area is very quiet and perfect for star gazing. Bathroom facilities were exceptionally clean. The restroom building also had a utility sink to do dishes (campers) and there was a faucet with a threaded spout so you could attach a clean water hose (RVers). Campsites were flat, well maintained, and each tent site had a raised and filled tent box with built-in metal tie downs. Campground also has plenty of trash, and recycle dumpsters. Bonus was the community book box, really kice camp hosts and trailheads on site. Visitors center is only a few minutes away.

Great camping at Gallo. Quiet and serene. Stargazing is a must! Spend a couple of days exploring all the hikes, it's worth the stay after the long road in. The road from 550 was mostly good. 3/4 of the way in, it gets rough with washboard gravel road. No AT&T service. Bring all that you will need for your stay, there are no services once you are off the main road, which is 21 miles from the park area.

We appreciated campfires are allowed. Good restrooms. Felt very safe. Take lots of water Gatorade and food as nothing is available and no cell service. But the trade off of ruins all around is worth it. Visitors Center very informative and open Sat Sun. Being older we took solar lights and set our tents up between two sites so we could walk back and forth. We were confronted by a semi rude rv camper that our lights were not welcomed. I understood so we had to minimize our light. Remember it's preferred as a night light site and as little light and noise as possible is courteous. It's was wonderful get your reservations early sites go fast. Campsites you pay but for Native Americans day passes no fee.
