Great trip to Chaco either a fantastic Equinox experience. We also visited the Valley of Dreams while we were there.
@Christoph94057 · Camped on Mar 16, 2025 at Campsite #22
Nice quite, awesome night sky, flush toilets, running water and propane heated bathrooms during the cold. Close to everything in the park.. will be coming back
@MichaelH69B9CB · Camped on Mar 15, 2025 at Campsite #15
Love the beauty and simplicity of the campground. Wish the last unpaved portion of the road from the North was grated better.
@RachelL4774006 · Camped on Mar 12, 2025 at Campsite #27
We really enjoyed staying here. The bathrooms were the cleanest bathrooms I've ever seen at a campground. It was very quiet and well maintained. Chaco was definitely worth staying at for several days to try to see everything. We stayed for four days/three nights and it definitely wasn't enough. There is wifi at the visitor center, which is nearby and open every day.
@JosephD5297544 · Camped on Mar 11, 2025 at Campsite #12
Sites are small with no privacy. Restrooms were clean and heated (but no hot water). A number of the better sites along the cliff side remain closed due to rockfalls.
@BruceM1268542 · Camped on Mar 1, 2025 at Campsite #14
Great location close to some epic history. Campsite and restroom was clean.
@KarenH5592205 · Camped on Feb 27, 2025 at Campsite #9
The website was a little hard to use- I had to find a space that we fit and it was in a weird location on the website. No map of campground on the website either. The actual camping though was lovely hoping to return sometime and spend more time in Chaco canyon
@MaryF8191441 · Camped on Feb 27, 2025 at Campsite #30
Road in is washboard. Well worth it though given the ruins. Campers need to be aware of fire potential and not make campfires when windy. Some repairs needed to stall doors in women's restroom in campground. One has latch installed so lock is outside, hmm, one has fingerhole where you can push to lock but doesn't actually latch. Nonetheless, Great fun.
@KellyP6682896 · Camped on Jan 2, 2025 at Campsite #16
Great views. NO cell service nor hook ups for campers (no elec. or water). Running water at heated bathrooms, no showers. Very quiet. Great place to Stargaze! We went in Winter and it was Cold 19*.
@JasonB8429005 · Camped on Dec 28, 2024 at Campsite #22
It's a great campsite and we love Chaco Park.
@DavidA3218244 · Camped on Dec 21, 2024 at Campsite #10
Clean and organized. Convenient trash bins and water at the restrooms.
@TimothyH300936 · Camped on Dec 20, 2024 at Campsite #17
Very clean and orderly, as you would expect from a federal site. The big, nice surprise was running water / meaning flusher toilets. We expected cold stinky toilets, but we had heated flushing toilets. Wonderful! There are no power connections / shore power for campers. Bring everything you need, don't assume.
@RussellJBD0208 · Camped on Dec 19, 2024 at Campsite #35
As expected
@StephenB624415 · Camped on Dec 9, 2024 at Campsite #26
Beautiful site, exceptionally clean (& warm) toilet facilities.
@RosemaryB08428 · Camped on Dec 6, 2024 at Campsite #5
Our experience at the Gallo Campground in Chaco Canyon was Fabulous! Road to get in was dry but we still only went 10-15 miles per hour in our 4x4 sprinter van , warm in the day , cold at night , bring wood and water
@JessicaB869322 · Camped on Nov 21, 2024 at Campsite #10
Beautiful place. The clean, warm bathroom was much appreciated.
@ReneR1F85C2052 · Camped on Nov 18, 2024 at Campsite #5
Nice site, clean and well maintained. Bathrooms were clean and easily accessible. Not many Tennants since it was late in the season but turned out to be a great day to hike through Chaco's Pueblo's. Tough to decide which trip was better, Chaco or Mesa Verde. There both great!
@MaryC1377445 · Camped on Nov 18, 2024 at Campsite #16
Mellow and uncrowded during our november visit.Cold nights perfect hiking weather.
@MarkB1441206 · Camped on Nov 12, 2024 at Campsite #29
The single best campground weve ever stayed at, bar none! The heated restrooms and clean flush toilets and hot water sinks were better than most of the hotels we stayed at along the way. The location and natural serenity cannot be topped. If you are willing and able to visit Chaco, try to stay at Gallo and bring a bicycle to visit the sites along the 9 mile loop road. We will definitely take our friends there.
@SarahR6066410 · Camped on Nov 12, 2024 at Campsite #28
The heated bathrooms were wonderful. Thank you.
@RicoM7187A45D9 · Camped on Nov 11, 2024 at Campsite #18
Mostly excellent. However, we got there after 5, the ranger station was closed, and all the sites that showed available on recreation.gov were empty but marked reserved. Turns out they just do that, you have to confirm with a ranger the next day. Was very confusing.
@Arlington8AC27 · Camped on Nov 10, 2024 at Campsite #10
Nice campground in a beautiful setting. The sunset views of the butte are great. Level sites that are nicely spaced.
@DouglasO5168FE · Camped on Nov 7, 2024 at Campsite #18
We were told not to come as road was impassible.
@AllenE67F87910 · Camped on Nov 3, 2024 at Campsite #12
Nice visitor center and really nice "heated bathrooms'.It snowed while we were there, beautiful!The Rangers were very helpful and informative.

I wanted to thank you for this site and especially for the notifications feature. Thanks to your site and my subscription I was able to book a campsite I've been annoyingly trying to book for 5 years unsuccessfully. So thank you.
@Wondering - Oregon
Wow! Woke up this morning to a notification that a favorite had opened at Paulina, and when I went to check, it was there. This membership just paid for itself in the first 24 hours I owned it. Couldn't take the site it conflicted with a trip already set, but it truly was there. Thanks Tons.
