Got in late and the campsite was available and clean.

Loved being there and camping out for a night. Love the New Mexico starry sky! And Chaco Canyon is magical! If / when I come back I will stay longer.

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.

Exceptionally well taken care of campground with very clean bathrooms. Ranger Gary came by each night and said hello to each guest. Only shade is late in the day, cast from the rocks of the canyon, but otherwise it is quiet and peaceful. Some lean-tos for shade would be a great improvement. Hiked out to Peaco Blanco one morning, moderate to strenous hike that was about 7-8 miles round trip. This was an exceptionally beautiful and moving experience. Spent about one hour at the site with my wife. If you really want to know the spirit of Chacocoan culture, this is the place to go. We were practically the only ones on the trail, seeing only one other person. Please be respectful of indigenous culture and archaeological sites in situ. Coming back next to hike Pueblo Alto.

Well managed We camped in a tent and were relieved to have tie downs on the wood frame. Everything clean

Nice Spot. Water is available in the mid bathroom sinks. There are no shade structures.

We never reached Chaco Canyon due to conditions on the access roads, which were impassible. We didn't have a bad experience at the campground, we simply never reached it, or the park. It was the top destination on our trip, which was a huge disappointment. Access road from the south was completely inaccessible. Option 2 was a 3+-hour detour to the north access road, which when we called the visitor center, we were told that the last 4 miles of the 30-mile unmaintained, washboard, dirt road with no cell reception through reservation land was also inaccessible. I'm sure the park is beautiful. One day I'll rent a tank so that I can get there.

I thought it was great ! Mid week no kids so it was very quite

Chaco Canyon is an absolutely stunning and hugely interesting place. It's imperative that you do a bit of research before coming, esp. about history and Native Americans and how to respect the culture and the land. Gallo Campground: This is a beautiful but quite small and tight campground. Even smaller now that they have closed parts off due to rockfall. As long as people are respectful of each other things will go very well. Here is some advice: use a red flashlight only, since many of us are stargazers and white light will ruin everyone's experience instantly. Don't use any other lights please! Also please don't slam doors as the sound echos off the canyon walls and drives us all nuts. If you are tuned in to the land and sky, this campground will offer a thrilling experience of one of the most beautiful places in the Southwest US.

Great camping at Gallo. Quiet and serene. Stargazing is a must! Spend a couple of days exploring all the hikes, it's worth the stay after the long road in. The road from 550 was mostly good. 3/4 of the way in, it gets rough with washboard gravel road. No AT&T service. Bring all that you will need for your stay, there are no services once you are off the main road, which is 21 miles from the park area.

Wonderful campground. Clean bathrooms with drinking water available. Host was helpful and friendly.

Took my kids (8&9) in May on the new moon to stargaze after we studied astronomy in school this year. It was a bit cloudy and rained lightly one night so didn't get much stars, but boy was it perfect hiking weather! The campsite had lots of short hikes to explore and the campground was covered in gorgeous desert flowers. The grounds were well kept and clean bathroom with running water. The rangers were friendly and helpful and the boys earned a Jr. Ranger badge which was super fun! Chaco is just a few minutes drive away which made it easy to explore the ruins multiple times. It really was one of my best ever camping trips and we can't wait to go back!

@GeorgeB9630400 · Camped on Apr 29, 2023 at Campsite #6

I appreciated the fact that tent campers had a designated area apart from the RVs. I sometimes think I am the last tent camper in the country, but the fact that the Gallo tent area was full proves me wrong.

@GeraldR470 · Camped on Nov 18, 2021 at Campsite #6

Everything was great and at a reasonable price. However we were there in November. During the summer there would be no escape from the heat other than getting in your car and running the AC. Sheltered tables like those at Hovenweep would be a good upgrade

@RhondaH124 · Camped on Sep 27, 2021 at Campsite #6

What a beautiful place!!
The campsite was very clean and well maintained. Camp Hosts were very friendly and helpful.
The only complaint we had was the condition of the road into Chaco Canyon was extremely rough. When they say the road is “wash board”, believe it!!!

@ChrisN523 · Camped on Sep 6, 2021 at Campsite #6

Very nicely designed and run campground in a difficult environmental setting, notably regarding water. And such a deal, at $20/night for a tent site, where there are essentially no other options within 60 miles. And Chaco is amazing.
