Pitch camp at Gallo Campground, where the searing sun will christen your tent worthy for its desert lands.

Tucked among fallen boulders and cliffs, Gallo Campground has the unique positioning of being near ancient petroglyphs and inscriptions. You'll truly feel one with the earth as the desert winds bluster around you. Come prepared with all necessary supplies, as this is a beautifully remote area.

Horse-Thief Campground

12 sites · RVs, Tents15 acres · NM
From U.S. Highway 550 (north of Nageezi), follow the signs that say Chaco Canyon National Monument Park (County Road 7900). From County Road 7900 and County Road 7950 (turn right on 7950). After 3 miles, at the end of pavement, you will see a sign that says "Dry Camp", with a long dirt driveway. Our campground is 13 miles before the hazardous road to Chaco Canyon. We like to say the we are "The Gateway to Chaco Canyon". Save the wear and tear on your trailers, camp with us! Horse-Thief Campground is an upcoming camp; located on 5 acres of land and more, for campers to enjoy. In a quiet; serene, beautiful landscape area of the Dine Nation. With beautiful sunrise; sunsets and night sky is out of this world. There are trails in which visitors may walk or bike, as well as a Look Out Point. Horse-Thief is currently a Dry Camp with no Electricity or running water however generators are welcome. There is one portable restroom. We look forward to Meeting and Greeting you! We think you will enjoy your stay with us, and hope you give us a great review!

Tent Site #12

2 sites · Tents10 acres · Bloomfield, NM
This is a nice space for a vehicle and one, max of two tents. Tent sites are located on the East side of the property. :-) This includes a picnic table, fire ring, and a 110V pedestal for cell phone charging and accessories. Located within walking distance and inside the park, are alos showers and 24/7 laundry. This space lies within a 10-acre RV park (and also the best in the County) and resides amongst other tent campers. Space has been great for cookouts and/or star gazing. Thank you for staying with us!

Very disappointed they have done away with tent only sites. They say it is because of possible rock falls. But if you have ever been to Chaco...that is a possibility almost anywhere Really have no desire to tent next to huge RV belching noxious fumes.... what a shame. Camping the best way to experience Chaco

While one of the two bathroom structures is under construction, there are no reserved sites. Best availability is at 11:00 checkout. We were there mid week in May. All RV sites were taken by 1:30. Go to the campground first, pick your site and then go to the visitor center to pay the fee.

Chaco Culture National Historic Park, containing remnants of a massive ancient (850 – 1250 A.D.) civilization, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and International Dark Sky Park. We viewed amazing night skies, including the Milky Way, and spent the next day exploring the Chacoan pueblo remains. The Chacoans are known for their pre-planned and advanced building techniques. Their structures were often oriented in the director of solar, lunar, or other astrological events.

Book in advance! It's a long drive out on a dirt road (about 15 miles) before you reach the campsite. VERY limited shade, but beautiful

Great campground. Sites vary widely. Avoid #38 as it's on the parking lot. Flush toilets. Potable water available at nearby visitors center.
