For Gallo - Chaco Culture National Historical Park: DO NOT TAKE YOUR TRAILER ON THIS ROAD!!We attempted it and finally turned back 2 miles short of the park entrance. The road is a nightmare with continuous washboard. You will think you can tolerate it, but believe me, you will be sorry. It is not about high clearance, it is about you and you vehicles being continuously battered by washboarding. BEWARE!!

For Gallo - Chaco Culture National Historical Park: There is now potable water in the campground and at the visitor center. Nice bathrooms with flushing toilets. The campground itself is fine ... level, scenic, spacious. The ruins are spectacular. However, the roads in (we came in from the north and departed via the south route) are horrendous. The north route is several miles shorter. Both equally bad. Heed the advice about avoiding when wet. Miles with no gravel. No cell coverage. Why the federal government, which runs this national monument, cannot improve the access roads for safety reasons, is beyond me. If you’re not pulling a travel trailer like we were, you can go faster over the washboard. It took us over an hour to drive the 18.5 mile south route. We will not return, thank goodness.

For Gallo - Chaco Culture National Historical Park: camped three nights in August 2017. To experience Chaco Canyon be sure to visit Pueblo Bonito and I strongly recommend the hike up to Pueblo Alto. As the other reviewers stated, you must traverse 13 miles of unimproved gravel/dirt road to get to the park (from the north) and it can be extremely rough (but worth it, just take your time). The Gallo campground is nice with Pueblo Ruins on the grounds. Minor correction to prior review: There is NO Potable water in the Campground. There are two Potable Water Spigots at the visitor center. There is a dump station at the campground. The Campground bathrooms are very clean (no Showers). I would have given 5 Stars if there had been potable water at the Campground.

For Gallo - Chaco Culture National Historical Park: I camped here in October 2016. Getting there can be tricky - don't trust your GPS! Write down the directions and follow them manually. I drove north from Gallup and Crownpoint. The unpaved road is around 20 miles long and very rough. However, in dry conditions it's fine in a passenger car.
I recommend reservations, but if you're winging it, arrive early to lay claim to a site that will be vacated later that morning. There are several tent only sites and the remainder are okay for RVs. The campground has flush toilets and running water.
Beautiful area with many hiking trails, elk, amazing sunsets, and ruins of the Chacoan civilization. Loved this place!

For Gallo - Chaco Culture National Historical Park: Chaco is a great place, and this is the only game in town for camping. The drive in is 13 miles of horrible washboard. It sounds counter-intuitive, but on the drive out we took the advice of two other RVers and drove the road at 45 MPH instead of 15 MPH. MUCH BETTER-REALLY.
