Gallup, NM dispersed camp spot???

HI, anyone know of a dispersed camp spot to spend a night near Gallup??...I see on google there is a Walmart, but its right on I40. If there is a quieter spot it would be nice!...tia
  • THE BEST is the Wolf Sanctuary South of Gallup. What a memory listening & watching the wolfs. Worth the 10+ miles off I40.

  • I've stayed at Quaking Aspen campground, Cibola NF, several times. Fairly quiet. No water.

    Directions:
    Take Fort Wingate Exit 33 from I-40 and drive south through Fort Wingate, continuing 6 miles further on SR 400 to the campground entrance on the west side of the road.
  • Red Rock State Park...full hookups @ $20/night. 6 miles east of Gallup. You won't find a nicer park...It's in Churchrock, NM....Dennis

    Thanks very much for that tip. I'm researching going to the balloon festival in Gallup next month. I'm facebook friends with the people who run that sanctuary and didn't realize it was that close. So I'll definitely check that out!! Unfortunately I'm flying out & won't have my RV... :-(

    It looks like it's a city park, not a state park, according to its web site.

    Otherwise the information posted about it is correct.
