Campground information Nageezi, New Mexico
Overview
ROAD CONDITIONS- Due to the monsoon rains that impacted the area starting on August 18, the roads entering Chaco Canyon were damaged in certain locations. We recommend that only four wheel drive or high clearance vehicles enter the park. Driving a motorhome or towing a trailer could be very challenging. For the latest updates on road conditions call the park at 505 786-7014.
Gallo Campground is located within Chaco Culture National Historical Park. Tucked among the fallen boulders and cliffs of Gallo Wash, the campground offers camping in a rugged environment, surrounded by petroglyphs, a cliff dwelling, inscriptions and a high desert landscape. The area is remote with no services. Please be prepared with plenty of food, water, shade, sunscreen and cold weather necessities.
Marijuana on Federal Lands
Posted: May 27, 2022 With the legalization of marijuana in the State of New Mexico, Chaco Culture National Historical Park would like to provide clarification regarding the use and possession of marijuana on Federal lands. The recently passed New Mexico State law, which allows for limited recreational marijuana use under certain conditions, has no bearing on Federal laws which continue to identify marijuana as a Schedule I illegal drug, and prohibit its use.
Possession of marijuana or use of any amount of marijuana is still prohibited in Chaco Culture National Historical Park, its facilities, concessions, and campgrounds.
