Wonderful place, but the rough washboarded roads are exhausting
@JoshuaL5397205 · Camped on Mar 17, 2026 at Campsite #12
Really enjoyed our time. There is something special about being able to walk through ruins. Learning the history was awesome. Do the sunset hike because its incredible. The campground hosts did a group campfire which was fun to swap stories. Our kiddos got the ranger badges which they loved. This place is special at night. So many shooting stars!

The place was awe inspiring. The park personnel were very informed. Needed to turn the wind off at night, but you cant find more beautiful night skies anywhere in the world.

When we arrived at Gallo, we were greated by the hosts, Norman and Clarice. They spent time with us discussing the campground and the park in general. They were very accomodating and we really appreciated the time they spent with us. The water was turned off, but the park did a great job providing port-a-johns and fresh water. We had a great time hiking and camping at the park. The visitor center was kind and accommodating.
@CharlesT783946 · Camped on Mar 11, 2026 at Campsite #14
Spaces are somewhat close. Hosts were super helpful. Roads in are very rough - no clearance issues, just it washboards and bedrock.
@JeanaHC4D52305 · Camped on Mar 9, 2026 at Campsite #28
The portable outhouses were full. They need service much more often than theyre getting. They are a sanitation hazard.The obvious solution is to restore water to the rest rooms. Guess the administrators have different priorities.

Amazing place! The woman who was the campground host during my stay was so helpful.

Gallo is a beautiful campground in the middle of Chaco Canyon. Unfortunately half of it is now closed due to falling rocks, so it becomes a little crowded sometimes. When we were there no water was available but we had been warned by mail and the recreation app so we came prepared with more than enough water. - The park staff was super friendly as always: during the day, while we were hiking, our tent was almost blown away by strong winds. A ranger fixed it with stones and our water canisters so no damage happened - THANK YOU!!! At the visitor center while we were waiting at the parking lot a ranger came out of the building to remind us about a ranger talk at Pueblo Bonito - how nice! Overall, an excellent experience. Want to come back soon!

Very well kept campground. While we were there over three days there was not any water service available. Bathrooms at campground as well as visiter center were closed. Porta-Potty were provided as well a 5-gallon jugs for drinking water.
@GriffinC0415BD · Camped on Mar 6, 2026 at Campsite #6
Very nice campground! Well laid out. Nice sites. Would definitely come back.

Nice campground, quiet
@williams984835 · Camped on Mar 3, 2026 at Campsite #13
Although no water due to issues the campground host was first rate and deserves credit
@CalebR9866723 · Camped on Mar 2, 2026 at Campsite #18

We had a great time, and I highly recommend camping out here for the gorgeous night skies!Pros:- Open year-round- Campground is very easy to access by car; signage is clear- Campsites were well maintained and free of trash- Sunset views are amazingCons:- Vault toilets were out of commission; port-a-johns were FULL
@ChuckHEE50129C · Camped on Mar 1, 2026 at Campsite #8
Flat sites, GREAT hosts, Porta-potties as no water. Great Sunsets and views. We appreciated the short and enforced limits on generators!
@BernieN20D8840 · Camped on Mar 1, 2026 at Campsite #10
No water, no sewer, no shower.
@johnc3063297 · Camped on Feb 25, 2026 at Campsite #19
a national park visitor deserves access to onsite potable water. thank you.
@MichaelB697476 · Camped on Feb 8, 2026 at Campsite #12
Decent sites with services limited due to the season. Shower, bathroom closed, no water. Close to the visitor center. Road in is washboard stone and dirt for 13 miles. Plan on a hour drive in due to that road from the hardball to the campground . Came in from the north

We loved this park and the campground was beautiful! The sunset was amazing from our campsite. The water went out while we were there, luckily we brought all the water we needed, but you'll want to keep in mind that this is pretty far away from stores or towns so come prepared.

Great campsite for access to the fantastic Chaco Canyon. Campsite has heated bathrooms with running water (no showers though), nice flat tent sites, picnic tables, and fire rings. The location is really spectacular with a view of Fajada Butte.

Loved being so close to Chaco. Clean campground. Bathroom has a heater which is nice in winter but the water is cold. If you want warm water in the bathroom, go to the visitor center bathroom

I just used PerfectCamp.com to book six consecutive August nights at the most popular campsite in one of the most popular campgrounds in Humboldt Redwoods State Park in California. That is not anything I could have accomplished anywhere else with the ease I did here! Thank you, PerfectCamp! I LOVE this site! You will find me on several other camping sites but the design, format, functionality, and personality of this the best. It’s fresh and clean.
@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.
@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
I just love this site and I tell everyone about it! It's so competitive to secure desired campsites and the alerts really help track when sites free up. The best part of this story is our alert notified a cancellation the next day!!!!!! Just incredible!!!
