Gallo Campground

Gallo Campground offers a truly unique experience located directly within the heart of Chaco Culture National Historical Park. Situated within the rugged Gallo Wash, the site is surrounded by ancient cliff dwellings, historic inscriptions, and fascinating petroglyphs, allowing campers to sleep in the shadow of history. The high desert landscape provides a dramatic backdrop for those looking to immerse themselves in the rich cultural heritage of the Southwest.

This federal campground provides essential amenities including picnic tables, fire rings, and showers, while firewood is also available for your stay. As a primitive and remote site, there are no hookups provided, making it an ideal destination for self-sufficient campers. The area is highly accessible for a variety of visitors, including tent campers, RV enthusiasts, and groups looking to explore the backcountry.

Because the site is located in a remote desert environment, visitors should arrive fully prepared with their own food, plenty of water, and adequate sun protection. The campground is open year-round and serves as a beginner-friendly entry point for those wishing to explore the trails and archaeological wonders of the Chaco region.
