Gallo Campground

We love it there. The camp host was awsome.

When we arrived, the weather was pleasant and we were able to spend the afternoon hiking through and around the pueblos. What an amazing cultural site!! Our campsite was great ~ right in front of a small architectural site. The wind was minimal, so we were able to have a campfire! A pleasant evening, but during the night the temperatures dropped into the 20s and, unfortunately the pipes in the two flush-toilet bathrooms evidently froze, causing the bathrooms to flood. But, the bathrooms were still open. Our second day was glorious as we hiked around more of the pueblos. Another campfire, but again the temperatures dropped and we woke to blowing snow and temperatures in the 20s (brrrr...). At that point the bathrooms were locked due to the problems that only got worse. The camp host didn't encourage us to use the great out-of-doors because it's a protected area. . . so it meant driving 4 miles on a one-way road to pit toilets (and 5 miles back. . . )! If the weather had been good, it would have all been better, but that is no fault of the campground or the host. It's just bad luck, poor planning on our part.

Fantastic time at Gallo. Host were amazing, beautiful setting, and close to all amazing pueblos located withing this amazing park. Will be back!

We loved Gallo Campground for many reasons, including: 1. The Campground resident manager was just putting up our sign when we arrived so we got to meet her personally, and she was very nice. 2. The Campground is beautifully situated, against the northern cliff wall at Chaco, and our camping space #26 was right in front of the tiny little Chacoan house. It was beautiful, and only a 1-minute walk from our camp. 3. The bathrooms were great and close by. 4. Our neighbor campers were nice to us and even let us use their bug spray. 5. The campground was convenient to the Visitor Center and all the Great Houses in the canyon. We loved our stay!

The 3 camp hosts were very congenial and helpful.
The two employees in the visitor center 10/21and 10/22 were not, it was as if they were not happy to be there. They seemed very unhappy and a little rude too.

Camp host was great. We froze our kiesters at nov but was lovely during the day. A special magical place for sure! Bathrooms were well maintained as was the entire camp.

The bathrooms (toilet and sink only) are immaculate.

Camp host and visitor center staff were great! This is such an amazing place and we are so grateful to have made our third visit.

This campground is awesome! Difficult to get to but very worth the journey. Super friendly and helpful camp host, clean restrooms and incredible scenery make this a perfect boondocking paradise. Clear, starry nights were the icing on the cake.

Campground is beautifully set but the sites are very close together and there is no privacy. However, all the campers share a great interest in the wonders of Chaco Canyon's ruins so everyone got along just fine. The supply of water and the quality of the bathrooms was surprising and excellent. We had a wonderful time.
