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.

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.

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.

I love Chaco Canyon it is my favorite place in the world. The campground is very clean and the restrooms and community sink are also very clean. The host at the campground Julia and Stephanie are the best ...Julia will be missed she retires at the end of the month . Thanks to all in Chaco to allow us to come and visit. Fellow camper advice please be aware it is a dark sky community please respect all who are trying to see the stars which the milky way is right above your head in the camp and remember to bring all you need there are no stores and who wants to go back out once you drive in ... Speaking of drives I've always came in thru the South just go slow and enjoy the drive and the cows

A wonderful place as always. Unfortunately the campground is small and sites are necessarily close together. However people are generally very respectful regarding noise and generator use so it does remain a peaceful place. There were a number of empty sites that people did not cancel. Recreation.gov needs to find a way to incentivize people to cancel or to easily modify their reservation if they plan to arrive a day later. The current system actually penalizes people for changing their reservation.
