Great experience waking to the sunrise and spending a day hiking to ancient ruins. Bring water.
5. Thew are ruins and rock art in the campground.
1. The water in the campground is NOT potable. There is potable water at the visitors center.
CHACO....Are u kidding me, such a beautiful gem.... and in our backyard!. Do yourself a favor, before you go out of America to visit other historic sites, visit this and more hidden gems in America, you won't regret it.
There are several things you need to know:
Surprisingly nice campground. Sand platform for tents. Heated bathrooms (we visited in January) with sinks, soap and hand dryers. Fairly roomy campsites. No shade. Driving there: we came from north on 550. Red Mess Express gas station is about 1 mile east of turnoff. Park is about 21 miles from 550: 8 miles paved, then 8 miles of maintained unpaved, and 5 miles of rough, rutted, pot-holed, washboard, dirt road. Last 5 miles has sizeable patches of clay which offers little traction when wet!! Roads in park are paved. I strongly encourage you to read their web page advisories and road&weather conditions. And call them the day before even. Amazing National Monument!!!
2. There are no hotels nearby, to get the most or if your visit camping is best.
3. The access road is dirt and can be rough depending on the weather.
One of the best campgrounds I've been too! I plan on returning to that one sometime.
4. The campground has flushing toilets!
