    Great experience at Cameron Trading Post Restaurant during our last night in Arizona! We originally stopped because there's a Shell gas station right next door and we needed gas, but once we looked over and saw the restaurant, we checked Yelp, saw the great reviews and photos, and decided to give it a try. So glad we did! After several days of driving, hiking, and kayaking, it was really nice to finally sit down and enjoy a relaxing dinner. There's also a Native shop attached to the restaurant, which was fun to browse through before eating. The restaurant itself is toward the back, and the restrooms are conveniently located nearby, so I was able to freshen up and change before dinner after being outdoors all day. I ordered the deluxe cheeseburger combo, which totally hit the spot, while my friend got the beef stew with Native fry bread. I'll admit, I was a little jealous when I saw her dish because it looked so warm and comforting after the chilly weather and all the kayaking and hiking we had done earlier that day! Thankfully she let me try the fry bread, and it was delicious. The atmosphere was welcoming, the food was great, and it ended up being the perfect way to wrap up our Arizona trip. Definitely recommend stopping here to fill up on gas and grab a good sit-down meal while passing through!

    Cameron Trading Post, perched above the Little Colorado River on Highway 89 is our favorite place to bring newcomers to the Colorado Plateau region. Interesting things stand the test of time here. I've been told boys born around 1920 used a Spanish armor breastplate to slide on village dunes. In Old Oraibi, beans and bean stems in a pot placed in an underground storage area and forgotten, carbon dated at Northern Arizona University to about 800 CE/AD. Cameron Trading Post and the first bridge across the Little Colorado are in that swirl of time. Stone architecture from 1916 or earlier, stands solidly in place. Most indoor areas are modernized. Some dining room decorations date to the early years. The pressed tin ceilings were common in my grandparent's world - and rusted away long ago in most of the USA. The main trading post has everything from old, valuable, regional items, to gleaming eye-grabbers from China luring toddlers and youngsters into tantrums. There are also food and other useful items for everyday life, like hanks of wool yarn, etc. The restaurant has excellent, regionally based dishes for your dining appreciation, wspecially the giant, hefty, Navajo Taco. There's a hotel here. A woman I knew, losing her hundred years alive to COVID in 2021, worked in the hotel as a teenager. Gas Station, apparently an RV Park, another great shop full of antique Southwest treasures are on the grounds. This is an exceptional stop on the Colorado Plateau.

    Loved the variety of authentic arts and crafts, jewelry too. Also a beautiful restaurant with a spectacular view! It is definitely worth the stop.

    04/16/26 Definitely worth the stop. The employees are friendly and the food is fantastic. While we were visiting the area, my husband wanted to try frybread. The Warrior Surprise did not disappoint. The frybread was huge, soft, and fluffy. The taco toppings on top were delicious and the egg on top was cooked perfectly. The prickly pear stuffed french toast was a delight and had just the right amount of sweetness. The french toast was accompanied by regular syrup and prickly pear syrup. The two items were a flawless pair of savory and sweet and we shared both items.

    Wednesday, 4/01/2026 - We tried this Cameron Fine Dining Parlor in this Cameron Trading Post place. Address is 466 N Hwy 89, Cameron, AZ 86020. This is a store with bathrooms, a restaurant inside, small section selling snacks, jewelry, clothing, pottery, toys, nicknacks, etc. We went to try the restaurant. Parking outside is plenty. But... the foods were NOT good. Very bland, dry, & over cooked.. The Navajo Taco wasn't bad tho. But everyone at our table did not like their dishes. We just ate it because we bought it. None of us were very impressed. But the server was nice. Water tasted great. No funky or metal taste to water or ice. Service is on the slow side. It didn't look to packed inside. But it took them like 10 to 15 minutes to seat us. It took them quite a while to bring us our tab. I think maybe they are short staffed. I don't know. But our server, Keneah, was very nice and professional. If you're very hungry, stop by here to grab something to eat. Besides that, i don't think we'll ever return to eat at this place. But we may stop by to buy nicknacks. Try the restaurant for yourself and determine. None of us liked it very much.

    We visited Cameron Trading Post for our first meal in the Navajo Nation after hearing about the amazing frybread they serve at the restaurant. The dining room here is absolutely huge. It's probably the size of a banquet hall, yet wasn't crowded at all when we walked in at 5:30PM on a Sunday. I have no idea if they ever actual fill up this cavernous space! Navajo Taco ($14.99) - The frybread base is fried well, giving a slightly crisp and crusty outer shell. The interior is leavened well, making it somewhat bready, although with plenty of air bubbles creating lightness and a puffy quality. It's quite a large piece, measuring at probably 8 inch in diameter and it tastes a bit alkaline. It's topped first with a mixture of chili beans and ground beef, both of which are tender. The ground beef isn't consistent in size, with some chunks larger, almost like mini meatballs, and some smaller. The beef doesn't have any charring at all, so I'm thinking it was perhaps boiled. It tastes like it has minced onion mixed in. Neither the beef nor the beans are seasoned much at all, leaving them very bland in taste overall, but there's a tiny bit of heat that whets the appetite. Both are served in a bit of liquid that soaks into the frybread underneath. On top, they load up plenty of shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese, chopped tomato, and green chile. All are relatively bland ingredients and left unsalted, even the chile somehow (which also has zero spice). It all makes for a meal that's quite bland* and unappetizing. Luckily they have a cup of fresh salsa on the side that adds some additional flavor. It's made in house, using fresh tomatoes that are quite acidic, salted well, and has a bit of a pleasant smoky element. (3/5) Beef Stew ($11.85) - The waitress highly recommended this dish. This is simple and clean comfort food. The stew includes chunks of beef, not cubed, but pieces that seem to be random boiled off cuts. They are a bit tough but not bad. There's then tender russet potatoes, carrots, celery, and onion, clearly all chopped in house due to the rather haphazardly cut pieces. There's not too much clear broth included, but it's seasoned pretty well, not too salty, with plenty of vegetable and savory flavors. It's a simple homestyle stew with clean flavors. Good stuff. This also comes with a whole piece of frybread and two packets of honey. (4/5) Cameron Trading Post gives a lot of food. We ended up finishing the taco and the stew, but left most of the frybread to pack up for later. The food is certainly much more affordable than the places in Tusayan on the other entrance to the Grand Canyon! And it was a great introduction to the cuisine of the area. Bathrooms - Not in the restaurant itself, but plenty around in the general store area. *Note: after eating my way through the Navajo Nation over the following week, I discovered that most of their food is very undersalted. They instead rely on the natural flavors of the ingredients only. It's an interesting aspect of their cooking, one that goes against pretty much all other cuisines I've tried.

    We were driving to Colorado and found Cameron Trading Post on Yelp. We decided to pop in for lunch. There is a lot to do in this little center including the art shop, hotel, post office, gift shop and restaurant. From the moment we walked in to the gift shop, we were greeted by the friendliest staff. Everyone said hello and welcome. We walked through to the restaurant and were sat immediately. Our server was Brenda and she was so pleasant and attentive! I recommend asking to sit in her section if you decide to dine. We ordered the Navajo taco and Green chili soup which came with a piece of fry bread. All three were good but needed a little more seasoning. I added salt and it was very good. I would recommend sharing the Navajo taco. It was huge and I felt bad not finishing it! The soup was the perfect size. After lunch we walked through the gift shop. Endless isles of beautiful Navajo rugs, baskets, Kachinas, jewelry, clothing, hats, trinkets and art. You could spend hours exploring the gift shop. I definitely recommend stopping here if looking for a day trip from the Phoenix area or passing through.

    Definitely an interesting place to stop by A huge gift shop with lots to offer. Which I think alone is worth a stop They had quite a lot on the menu. I went for the Navajo taco. It was okay. Lacked flavor for me and could have been warmer upon arrival. The fry bread was delicious tho. My bf got the fry burger and he really enjoyed that, it was pretty tasty. Coming from New Mexico I got their sopapilla. It was pretty good but not the same as NM. Prices are very good for the size of the meal. There was a line when we arrived but it moved very quickly. Lots of seating, and looks like there might be some good views by the windows. Restrooms are very clean. Service was average. Felt a bit slow for food. The servers weren't exactly warm but when addressed when I mentioned something was forgotten they were very kind and patient. Would I stop again? Hmmm maybe? Would I recommend you go? Hmm, def for the store to get a souvenir but perhaps you wouldn't miss too much on the food

    Navajo taco, Beef stew.

    Stopped by here on our way to Sedona and found ourselves enjoying lunch at the restaurant inside of this trading post. The navajo taco and beef stew were delicious. Food service was great. The restaurant staff were friendly and attentive. Food here are affordable. The decorations are beautiful. The place overall is clean. Restrooms for customers are clean and well maintained. There are plenty of parking. Highly recommended.

    What a beautiful place to stop for a great meal. We had to try some Fry Bread, it was excellent, Avacado Toast was great! Ambiance is SUPER. CS left a little to be desired, we asked for a table by the windows with a view, we were denied even thou they were all empty?? Our Server was excellent, and very attentive. Service is phenomenal.

    We traveled nearly an hour to eat here for breakfast. The ambiance and view was amazing. Service was friendly and welcoming. The fry bread was definitely a highlight for me. We asked for extra crispy hashbrowns and they didn't disappoint. The CFS was seasoned very well, breading and meat. Reasonable pricing. Would definitely visit again if in the area.

    Fun stuff in the main trading post (some authentic, some not so much), and super fascinating history to be learned in the more exclusive store adjacent. Originally native art, ceremonial outfits, stunning jewelry - a lot waaaaay beyond my price point but the window shopping was excellent. The best part? The gardens. The landscaping and grounds are an oasis that I could have stayed in all day!!!

    I went here on a tour from Sedona to the Grand Canyon. We were able to get some great local artwork and souvenirs for family and friends. We ended with lunch at their restaurant and so glad we did. The portions are huge! We had the fried bread which was fluffy and delish. I could only eat half of it. We left full and satisfied.

    Indian tacos- YUM!!!

Holiday Inn is a tried and true brand for me and always lives up to expectations. This is a GREAT hotel choice for those visiting the Grand Canyon! Location is super convenient, less than 20 minutes from the Park but more affordable than staying inside the park itself if you want a hotel. The city doesn't have a ton to offer, but there are some food options nearby. PRIOR REVIEW STILL STANDS: I am a loyal fan of Holiday Inn, and am always happy with my experience at Holiday Inn Express & Suites. The rooms are fairly standard and no-fills, but they are always clean, spacious and meet my needs for a hotel room. I also enjoy the small continental breakfasts as they make mornings easier. This particular location was no exception. I am happy with my stay here and would recommend the hotel for anyone visiting the Grand Canyon. It's also really conveniently located, just 10-15 minutes outside of the park, but far enough away to give some flexibility with food and hotel options. Internet was alright, pretty "meh" quality, but it worked. This particular location was honestly super spacious. We ended up in the adults only wing, and our room was huge. We had a separate seating area with a TV, desk and couch that could pull out to become a bed. There was also a small little kitchen nook with a microwave, fridge, sink and coffeemaker. I don't have children so the extra space doesn't really matter much to me, however, if I did this would have been a really nice place to stay. Breakfast: Breakfast was the standard holiday inn express fare. It had pancakes, eggs, pastries, cereals, some fruits, yogurt, and either bacon or sausage. Seating was really limited, but you can always take your food back to your room. Parking: Parking seemed plentiful and was pretty close to the hotel. Parking is free.

But we paid for a King bed at Yavapai; we got two queens at the Holiday Inn. When our room was cleaned they took our towels and did not leave any new ones.

The noise level was high, due to being able to hear everyone's door down the hall opening and closing. I would not stay there again!

This week, the canyon was bursting with color from all the flowers and vegetation growing after the heavy snow season. This was truly a special experience! The trail to Ribbon Falls/North Rim was closed at one of the bridges and the creek running too high to attempt a safe crossing, so we enjoyed a rest day and cooled off on the banks of the stunning Colorado River. We took pictures of the current ranch as big changes are underway with a new water system getting installed, which will impact access to the ranch for a while. Special mention to the staff, particularly Zach, who went above and beyond to show us hospitality. Also, best of luck to new hire Tyler as he settles into his new role at the ranch! The ranch is currently short-handed, and some of the staff are really feeling the stress, which is starting to show in their interactions with guests. Remember to be patient and kind. The bottom of the Grand Canyon can't be an easy place to live and work.

I loved being surrounded by the canyon. We didn't have a view from the cabin itself, but it was a very short walk to the lodge where you had amazing views like the one I shared here. The cabin was tiny, but we were out exploring as much as we could, so it served our needs perfectly. It was just enough for two people without being too small. The only real downside is parking was a consistent struggle. You often couldn't park near your cabin and had to drive around for a while trying to find somewhere else close by.
