It's close to Chaco Canyon, very remote and quiet. If rain is in the forecast, reconsider your date for camping as it gets very muddy. It was great to meet Wayne and Yolanda and hear their story of the property..

This was a great alternative to Gallo campground if you want to visit Chaco. We had a camper and so being in a dry camp was fine for us. We drove out on the property under a tree with some great views. There are other trees on the property to drive to that people were staying at also. The dark night star lit sky was incredible! It was quiet and a good place to come back to before and after visiting Chaco. Be prepared for a 30 minute drive on a dirt road that is very bumpy. We did see a lot of wild horses on the drive in and out of Chaco which made it. Yolanda was very nice and helpful and said that they are hoping to get water and electric out there soon.

This was such an amazing experience! You enter along an unpaved road and are basically in the middle of scrubland as far as you can see. We heard coyotes in the distance at night, the moon rose *orange* on the horizon, and the stars were incredible. So peaceful, and very close to Chaco Canyon. Thank you so much for hosting us!

This is a place to stay on the way to Chaco Canyon, and that’s it. Even knowing that, prepare yourself for austerity before you pull in. It is NOTHING but a flat dirt lot filled with rocks, nails (?) and some broken glass. But it’s flat, there’s a porta-john nearby, and some odd bits of construction materials that can be useful for holding things down while you setup your tent in hideous wind.
If you’re arriving on motorcycle note that there is some loose sand on the way down, but it’s not deep. If it rains ALL night long (like it did for us) the road back out is not too muddy.’

We had the place to ourselves. Arrived around 8pm then enjoyed a lovely sunset while setting up camp by the lonely tree. There is also a fire ring at the tree. Saw the wild horses come through around midnight. Pit toilet was much appreciated in the morning.

It is what it is, a big dirt lot with no hook ups but it was all we could find and it did put us closer to Chaco. Be careful with GPS directions, our app took us on a longer route to.

Great access to Chaco Canyon, and easy to find with good instructions. Tent spots are a little fuzzy, but we didn’t have any trouble finding a spot that worked. Appreciated the port-a-potty.

We loved this location. Perfect for all the sites we wanted to see. It’s quiet and remote. Surrounded by 360 degrees of horizon makes for amazing sunsets. We added two more nights for our stay in this beautiful landscape. Thank you To our hosts, Yolanda and Wayne.

This was a perfect spot to use as base camp for exploring both Chaco Canyon and Bisti Badlands. Follow the directions provided by the host! Come in from 550 on the North side of town. Other routes your GPS may show you (particularly when coming from the south) will have you on washboard road.
The site was exactly as described. Level, dry camp location just as the road to Chaco becomes gravel.

This was a great boondocking site. It was so quiet. Only drawback, as mentioned before, are the 4” nails (10) I picked and disposed of. For camping near Chaco it’s great. We enjoyed it!

A great base camp for exploring Chaco Canyon. Pretty barebones, but beautiful views and skies from camp. Wayne was a very friendly host.

We're grateful that Wayne and Yolanda made their land available like this.
It is so convenient to Chaco and saved us either hauling our trailer up that road or driving miles further for our day trip into the park.
The space is super easy in and out. We had our choice of places to park. It was quiet and dark at night.
Wayne, is warm and friendly, he even came by to chat one evening. We really appreciated getting to learn about him and his family. He clearly has a strong connection to the land and is working hard to make a living in a place where that could be tough.
Some reviewers complain about the cost and lack of services...we were happy to spend our money for an easy, convenient place to stay. And to support his vision as he continues to develop this camping area.
