Camping at Chaco Culture National Historical Park

Related campgrounds: Hovenweep

Due to its size, Chaco Canyon needs time to fully explore & take in the accomplishment of a past culture. Sadly, its location can make that hard. Luckily, there's a campground one can lay down their head - right where that culture did as well! Gallo Campground provides visitors to Chaco Culture National Historical Park an opportunity unlike any other - the ability to check out the remains of the Puebloan people who inhabited the area centuries ago without the worry of the nearest lodging being over an hour away. Visitors can spend hours fully exploring the site to their heart's content. The campground itself is tucked next to cliffs where petroglyphs and ruins provide a reminder of a previous time. In the distance are sweeping views of a rugged landscape and buttes. There are 32 individual campsites in total. Of those, one is ADA compliant, and five are RV only. In addition, there are two tent-only group campsites that can accommodate up to 30 people. Two restroom facilities are available with flushing toilets and running water. No showers are available. Hookups are also not available, however, there is a dump station. Due to the remoteness of the location, campers are advised to bring all necessary food and supplies as no convenience stores are nearby. Cell phone service is also not available.
