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.

Camping at Chaco CNHP’s is the best way to experience this gem of the NPS . The beauty and quiet of the desert enhance the appreciation of the ancient civilization that thrived there. Being truly off the grid is like transport back in time. Hosts and volunteers were great. So helpful. The only difficulty is the bad road with its 13 miles of washboard. It seemed to be getting some attention from a road crew while we were there But campers agree that it discourages casual visitors because you really have to want to be there to attempt the road. High winds can be a problem too but camp sites have good guy wire loops for tents.

Campground well maintained. Clean bathrooms and potable water available. Also trash. Spent 4 days hiking and seeing the highlights. Especially enjoyed Pueblo Alto and the view of Pueblo Bonito from above.
Road going in is rough- wish it were graded or improved a bit.

Nice spot. Lucky to get a place, checked for cancellations. Tragic there were empty sites when many would have loved to stay. Camp host was wonderful.

Got incorrect info from rangers about visiting hours for the ruins, gates locked early. Also, too windy and sand-blown to camp the night. Went home early. RV camping ok; tents impossible.

Numerous sites were posted as 'Reseved' yet no one showed up. I've seen this many times. Your reservation system continues to do a very poor job of informing local staff about cancelations and opening up no-show campsites.
This is also a disservice to NPS because sites go unused, but the reservation concession nevertheless receives its nonrefundable fees.

Such a magical area with sunsets and dark night skies that only the remote desert can offer.

Be prepared for windy conditions. We experienced gusts up to 45 mph. Thankfully, we had enough tent stakes and tie down rope to weather some windy days. There was potable water at the campsite near the bathroom, as well as at the visitor center, which helped with staying hydrated. Bathrooms were nice at the camp, flushing toilets and a place to wash up. No showers! Campground was clean and well staffed.
