Totally agree with Bill about Bandolier. The campground rarely even fills up, according to the NP website, and there were numerous choices that would accommodate even the largest TM. We found that this was a good headquarters for numerous drives and hiking in the area, but we came back to peace and quiet for the nighttime.
Chaco is one of the most special places DH and I have ever visited, but it is very remote, and the main ruins are not right at the parking lot--some hiking is required in order to reach them. We last visited when we were considerably younger and more able to take advantage of the miles of hiking through the ruins! However, we tent camped both times, and would not recommend hauling the TM back on the miles of very rough roads....that can be totally inaccessible after an afternoon rain. I know that many of the TM's are equipped to go on more rugged roads, but ours is not, and as much as we'd like to return to the area, it wouldn't be with the TM.
