trikepilot,
Would you clarify something for me ... after driving miles and miles back into Chaco Canyon to explore and photograph ... do you have to drive back out of it in the afternoon to camp?
In other words, are there any spots way back in there where you are allowed stay and drycamp overnight so you can continue the next day without another long drive in?
Chaco Canyon has a campground. It has no services so it is for dry camping only.
The fee is $10 per night and it is a first come first serve campground. If you get there and the campground is full then, yes I guess you would need to drive back out that night. I'm not sure if they have any overflow camping or not. It probably wouldn't hurt to call ahead just to see if there are openings at the campground and if they do have overflow camping.
