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

Not bad , it definitely was 20 miles of dirt road coming in from the south. Road wasn't to terrible. But the weather was also nice. If weather is bad I could see a couple of places that might be tough. The campground was pretty nice, I'm just not used to camping 10 feet away from other people. I have only boondocked before. But a decent experience overall

We enjoyed our time at Chaco Canyon. My husband and I have different levels of fitness. There were a variety of hikes/bike rides that both of us could enjoy. We camped here for four nights. The weather seemed to change every fifteen minutes. : ) This fact kept the campground on the empty side. The road into the park was very doable for a van but I would not like to be towing a trailer due to the ruts. Park staff was very helpful. The museum in the visitor center is one of the best that I've seen.

Lots of fun! Cool to see the ruins from our campsite!

We were warmly greeted by the camp ground warden, who also helped us with further information. The sites are well kept, the fireplace clean.

The campsite is the worst Ive ever experienced. Packed with no space between camp sites. Never again

It was a full campground, but plenty of space for each. The road in was pretty washboard in places so take it easy. Chaco canyon was nicely paved and no trouble getting around to all the sites. Visitor center was well stocked and very helpful personnel. True no trees around so bring your own shade cover as the sun is bright. And don't forget that it a dark sky area so the stars and milky way were very clear you could almost touch them. In fact there was an Astronomy club there with telescopes set up that we all were allowed to see the planets and stars closeup. The visitor center has scopes too but they were not allowed to open due to covid.

Chaco Canyon is wonderful place to stay for a few days (or more). Pueblo Alto loop hike is well worth the effort.

Friendly campground hosts and proximity to the entrance to Chaco make this a great place to camp. Dawn and dusk are the best time to view the great houses, with the sun low in the sky creating a warm glow on the rock. You almost need to camp at Chaco to have the best experience of the place. The back country trails are wonderful early in the day before the heat comes on.
