If you go to Chaco you will need more than one day and that means you will camp in Gallo Campground. Camping at a historic place adds to your understanding of it. Be sure to talk to fellow campers and see what drew them to Chaco and to hear what amazes them. Enjoy the experience.

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.

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.

We were thrilled to camp next to an ancestral Puebloan ruin. Their engineering achievements are astounding and all with stone tools and without beasts of burden. It's mind-blowing.

Took my kids (8&9) in May on the new moon to stargaze after we studied astronomy in school this year. It was a bit cloudy and rained lightly one night so didn't get much stars, but boy was it perfect hiking weather! The campsite had lots of short hikes to explore and the campground was covered in gorgeous desert flowers. The grounds were well kept and clean bathroom with running water. The rangers were friendly and helpful and the boys earned a Jr. Ranger badge which was super fun! Chaco is just a few minutes drive away which made it easy to explore the ruins multiple times. It really was one of my best ever camping trips and we can't wait to go back!

Simple campsite in an amazingly beautiful location. Chaco is a destination. Services are minimal. Ruins, hiking and stars are outstanding. We drove our 20 ft Airstream Basecamp in from the North. The road had some washboarding but no deep ruts. We made sure all was battened down inside the trailer and had no issues. We departed via the South road, longer and rougher. Various rocky areas but no deep ruts. Either road may be impassable with significant rain. Loved the area.
