We've been to Bandelier twice. Wonderful place, very nice campground, I recommend it. From the campground, you will end up walking a rather long steep path down the cliffs to the ruins - unless you wimp out and drive around. But I know you wouldn't do that ... Walking back up is more interesting.
We've not been to Chaco, but want to go. The ruins are several miles from the parking lot. That may limit us. And I think there is some sort of registration or advance reservation requirement. If you go, I hope you will post a long review, with some photos.
