Like I said, it's not purdy but it's free. I have parked overnight there 3 or 4 times and yes there are 18 wheelers. Not packed in like a truck stop though.

For a stopover near Chaco you might consider Angel Peak nearer to Bloomfield. It's pretty spectacular with good views of the Bisti badlands to the southwest it's about 7 miles off 550. It also is gravel and has some washboard, but it's 7 miles not 25. I never camped at Bisti but I don't know why you can't. Bisti is just off Rt 371 which is a paved road.
