Please note: In July 2023, a major rockfall occurred near the cliff dwelling in the Gallo Campground, temporarily closing 8 sites and a nearby trail due to high risk of additional rockfall. Based on an Investigation Report conducted by the Natural Resource Stewardship and Science Geologic Resource Division, it has been decided 5 of those 8 sites will remain permanently closed: 20, 21, 23, 24, and 25. The trail to the cliff dwelling will also remain permanently closed. Please visit or call the visitor center for more information.
We recommend making a reservation on Recreation.gov to ensure a camping or RV space on the dates you plan to visit.

The group campsites are now available for reservations, but the group leader must check-in at the visitor center to complete the required paperwork before setting up camp.
