Host needs to be more aware of loud obnoxious people in the night and early mornings

@SharonS7186721 · Camped on May 28, 2025 at Campsite #17

Campground and restrooms are immaculate. Yay!!!hot showers and a laundromat. Plus, laundromat has plenty of plugs to recharge cell phone. I highly recommend it.

@MarvinLE54CB5B · Camped on May 26, 2025 at Campsite #14

Very well kept camp sites. Facilities were very clean and well maintained. Trails were well marked with spectacular views.

@RandalmD5A2A54 · Camped on May 25, 2025 at Campsite #29

Nice and clean, BUT There are mice living in the store room of the restroom / water supply sink room.With hantavirus in the area should be more aggressive at removing them. I saw mice coming in and out from under the door of the store room into the sink room. I mentioned this to the campground host and she said that she mentioned it to her superiors but they did not seem to be concerned.

Wonderful experience, can't wait to go back.

@MIKEH4414321 · Camped on May 21, 2025 at Campsite #5

I had no negative experiences and the staff did what they were expected to do.

@ClairRF92A59F3 · Camped on May 20, 2025 at Campsite #13

Due to arriving later than we planned and leaving early we werent at the campground long enough to leave a reputable review. The setting is pretty awesome and the campground was full.

@RolandP4EA98F6 · Camped on May 19, 2025 at Campsite #G2

It was a great place to camp. Bathrooms were very clean and every lot had nicely prepared foundation for the tents. And this in the middle of a wonderful place. Staff at the visitor center were so friendly as well.

@JoeW1783782 · Camped on May 13, 2025 at Campsite #13

We loved camping at Gallo! Campsite was spacious and level. We rode our e-bikes to the different great houses, Kivas and trail heads in the area. It was an amazing experience!

@RosemaryB41039 · Camped on May 7, 2025 at Campsite #4

I missed the first night due to rain and impassible roads (thank you to the rangers for the road warning) but arrived early on day 2 and set up camp quickly to enjoy the full day at the park. The hosts were friendly and helpful. The rest rooms were clean and accessible. We had a bit of rain and my tent pad drained well. The campground was full and quiet. The campsites are close to the visitor's center and the loop road but far enough away to feel like you had your own piece of the petroglyphs and rock formations.

@DebbieC9683255 · Camped on May 7, 2025 at Campsite #9

I didn't end up going because of the amount of rain in the area. I was advised by park officials to not come the first 2 days, and opted not to come for the last couple of days because of distance/time getting there from my home for only a couple of days. I like to spend 5-7 days there.

@PattyD2151966 · Camped on May 6, 2025 at Campsite #34

Thought this was a boon docking campground. So happy to experience functioning bathrooms, running water and power in the lavs.

@GregoryS158769 · Camped on May 4, 2025 at Campsite #30

We had a great experience!

@Stephanie13298 · Camped on May 4, 2025 at Campsite #6

It's a great little campground, but the sites are very open and exposed. The camp hosts were great as well as everyone at the Visitor Center.

@CameronA5E671F · Camped on May 2, 2025 at Campsite #9

Well run park

@WillaimL08695A · Camped on May 1, 2025 at Campsite #35

absolutely amazing place. dont miss the hike out to the supernova pictograph. camp sites wonderfully maintained, water for our little travel trailer was available at the dump station and we were lucky the road which can be bad was just graded and great. visitor center was really great, rangers knowledgeable and nice, and bathrooms really nice with flush toilets.

@WillisHEEF936A · Camped on Apr 29, 2025 at Campsite #17

We had a wonderful visit to to Chaco and stayed at the Gallo campground. We spent 5 days there and did a lot of hikes and learned about the ancient Puebloan communities that were there over a thousand years ago.

@RobertM1452522 · Camped on Apr 23, 2025 at Campsite #18

Well, it automatically gets points just for being in Chaco Canyon and two minute's drive from the visitor center. One of the most amazing places to visit imaginable, if you like breathtaking landscapes and Ancestral Pueblo dwellings. The Great Houses are a marvel to behold. This campground makes you feel like you live there, if only for a day or few. There is a small house ruin in the cliff alcove that is part of Gallo Campground, and the Wijiji trail begins from the entrance to the campground. Many pluses. It may be desolate, but they provide ample bathroom with running water for all campers, as well as a fire pit, parking place, and a square sandbox type thingy of packed sand perfect for pitching tent. Stargazing is great, although you may see some strange lights up there....it is New Mexico after all. Come commune with the ancient Chacoan spirits at Gallo Campground, it is an experience!

@ScottM5484435 · Camped on Apr 21, 2025 at Campsite #26

Clean and quiet. The camp host was helpful.

@johnc3063297 · Camped on Apr 18, 2025 at Campsite #27

It was cold and snowy this Easter weekend but it just made it more memorable. Beautiful clean sites along the canyon walls are such a great vibe. Wonderful spot.

@RaeD97DC3F7BDE · Camped on Apr 10, 2025 at Campsite #26

Nice campground. Bathrooms are tidy, so hosts obviously care about what they're doing. It's difficult to get to and can be very windy, so plan your trip accordingly.

@LindaS8448936 · Camped on Apr 10, 2025 at Campsite #19

Worth the trip!

@TomB7022535 · Camped on Apr 9, 2025 at Campsite #29

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.

@CarlaLThompson - Colorado
