Gallo Campground

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.

Pick a night with a full moon!

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.
