Nice sites, sparsely attended campground during the week. Bathrooms were very clean! Great view of Fajada Butte in the morning.

Beautiful!

The campground was excellent! So very clean, well managed, roomy, with the nicest, helpful campground hosts. We really appreciated the heated bathrooms with flush toilets and the utility sink for disposing our gray water. Again, everything was immaculate.

I love this campground so much. It is always clean and welcoming and well stocked. A great place to spend a few nights in the desert.

There was no host or Park Employee at the campground on two of the three nights I stayed. That meant no one to see that quiet hours were kept. People ran generators and had music playing after 10Pm and long before 6AM. Bring earplugs if you want to get a night's sleep.

Unfortunately I was there the day of the eclipse and we were literally held up at the gate until people left the Parkwhich they didnt do! The park staff was wonderful with all the frustrated visitors and I circled the canyon trying to get a spot at the sitesOn tve other hand the park had special events with a lecture and time to look through tve parks telescope in the observatory as well as though guest astronomers telescopes. Great evening!Since I was able to get a camp spot at Gallo campground the next day was mellow and I saw all I wanted plus got in a great hike!The campground host was wonderful through all the chaos of the eclipse and the campground itself!But of Course! Hes an Alaskan!5 star experience ( questionnaire wont light up the stars for me!)

Roads flooded due to rain. Then campground flooded and was closed. No camping possible on this trip.

Campsite 28 was the low point in the campground. Due to rain we had to deal with standing water during our stay. Take this site out and save the next campers from this ordeal.

Beautiful space

Chaco Canyon is amazing. The campground is good with clean restrooms and water. The park is not overdeveloped which we appreciated. The ruins are fascinating snd the land feels Holy. In mid October we experienced every kind of weather except extreme heat. I look forward to visiting again.
@BethK829 · Camped on Oct 1, 2021 at Campsite #28
Gorgeous, spacious, nice bathrooms, state of the art water dispenser, and by great luck a group of guys with HUGE telescopes. I am glad the road makes it hard for people to come in. We were in heaven.

Absolutely stunning with challenges (heat in summer, cold in winter, various road conditions depending on the weather). Sacred landscape. Mind-boggling starscape. Silence. Crows.
Staff and hosts making you welcome. And much to learn even if it isn’t your first trip.

It was a treat to be able to stay inside Chaco Canyon!! The campsite was great. Would definitely recommend it! All of the surrounding dwellings were amazing to see in person. This is a special place for sure.

At first I was a little disappointed that there was a fire ban, but I got over it real fast. It enabled me to really enjoy the night sky, plus I got to sleep sooner so I could get up earlier for some longer hikes. The other campers that I experienced on my visit were very respectful.
@MarkH206 · Camped on Jun 8, 2021 at Campsite #28
Quiet location, restrooms clean, water easy to access. As others have mentioned, the county road leading in to the park is poorly maintained and has a very rough washboard surface
@JillJ672 · Camped on May 13, 2021 at Campsite #28
Your park ranger harassed and tried to intimidate my group. He couldn’t find a reason to find me for anything but certainly tried to search for something.

Perfectly nice site for a pop-up camper plus a tent. It helped that alternating sites were closed due to Covid.
