Gallo Campground

sites are well marked, well kept and quiet. Each has a picnic table and fire ring. No fresh water except what was in the bathroom. Don't know if this is an ommision but there was an inoperable filtered water dispenser outside the bathjroom that was not working

Great weekend and experience. I can't believe it took us as long to get there as it has, with it as close to home.

I thought it was great ! Mid week no kids so it was very quite

Campground Host was so welcoming and friendly and helpful. A real nice touch. Chaco awe inspiring as always and the campground right “in it.” Restrooms were spotless (and warm). Darn genny that ran and ran on someone’s rig (why don’t they all go solar!) but other than that a peaceful stay.

Very difficult to get too because of the road but a beautiful location with outstanding bathroom facilities.

Stunning views of Fajada Butte from the campground. Late Oct was a nice time to be there - very low season, The Great Houses were spectacular and so was the hike to Pueblo Alto. The big rock slide in the campground had closed off a number of campsites. And also one of the restrooms was closed off. But because there were fewer campsites, the one open restroom was never crowded. It's a great campground. I've camped there at least 4-5 times throughout the year. Nice to know some things never change.

The camp ground is very nice with water and a rv dump which is not listed as an amenity. Prepare yourself for the trip through the canyon with a stop to the visitor center to familiarize yourself with the park layout and get the various Pueblo booklets to help you learn about the history of the inhabitants.

Be sure your prepared for poor road conditions getting to the park it can be rather challenging depending on the vehicle your arriving in.

The campsite had a nice bed for the tent. There wasn't much isolation from the neighboring sites, though, they are pretty much on top of one another. The have a nice eastern view which was great for the moon- and sun-rise.

There was no host or Park Employee at the campground on two of the three nights I stayed. That meant no one to see that quiet hours were kept. People ran generators and had music playing after 10Pm and long before 6AM. Bring earplugs if you want to get a night's sleep.

The Camp Ground has a tent pad for easy set-up. Potable water and flushing toilets are great. The only problem was a group of elementary school students camped in the Group Site and had no respect for other campers, running all over the campground and loudly screaming the entire time. At least they were quiet after 10 pm. Camp hosts told us to use the farthest toilet, reserving the closest one for the children. The leaders of this group were not teaching respect for the environment or fellow humans. On our final day, the toilets and water access were locked, perhaps due to the kids clogging pipes?
