    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.

    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 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.

    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.

    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

    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.

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

    Stopped here after a long day of hiking, and I couldn't help but feel like I'd been transported back to the 1940s. The place has an old Western vibe that sets the tone for some classic local cuisine. Of course, we had to try the Navajo taco -- it's huge and definitely enough to share between 2-3 people. I loved the crispy edges of the fry bread, and if the meat and beans had just a bit more flavor, it would've been a total hit. We also tried the prickly pear wings, which had a nice kick of heat. I just wish they had been a bit crispier for that perfect bite. Bonus: You can grab some souvenirs and snacks for the road on your way out. A fun little stop with a lot of character.

    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!!!

After the legendary Flintstone village replica had yet another near-extinction event, the current owners maintained the relics while adding a small zoo. If you're exploring the area, you HAVE to drop by. There's nothing else like it. You can enter by paying for admission at the register of the convenience store. If you paid a little extra for the pouches of animal feed, the group of goats outside will be happy to see you. There are a few alpacas, too! On the opposite end are some giant bird cages filled with falcons and other raptors. Of course, the star of the show lies in the old buildings modeled after Fred Flintstone's neighborhood. His home, the jail, and the salon--every building here is its own little exhibit. You can explore and take plenty of photos; the architecture is something to be appreciated. This is simply something every Arizonan should see at least once.

    *Free attraction for all active duty military and their families!*…read more Arrived at 5-5:30 on a Thursday and the place had maybe 1 or 2 other families. You walk inside and there's a gift shop with a food stand in the back. They have some fresh produce-- apples, oranges, bananas, and I saw you could ask for tomatoes, peppers, and some other stuff. The coolers were filled with bottled drinks and beer. There were tables to sit at and a small counter to order food. We ordered our dinner -- they mostly had wings, burgers, a couple sides, and ice cream. My husband got buffalo wings (10), mozzarella sticks (10), and the five piece chicken tenders for the kids, plus 2 Gatorades and it was $52. I wasn't super hungry and figured I would pick at whatever was left. My husband said the wings were good! I tasted the sauce and it was flavorful but not overly hot. I did end up eating some of the kids' tenders and they were probably some of the better ones we've had in the area. You can definitely eat outside, so ask for your orders to go! I think the price for adults to enter the park is $10, slightly lower for kids, and, I believe, kids under 3 were free. Like it said though, active duty military and their families get in free. Either way, I would have paid for the experience if we had to. If you even remotely like dinosaurs or the Flinstones, you'll love it here. The park is very nostalgic, see my attached pictures! Lots of photo opportunities for the whole family, a slide, swings, and peddle karts that you can "race" on a track through the volcano. They also have animals-- sheep, goats, an alpaca, various kinds of birds. The animal exhibits made me a little sad, especially the birds. There was animal feed for the goats, sheep, and alpaca and it looked like there was a little stage and seating for shows. We stayed until they closed at 8! I bought my son a shirt and myself a hoodie. If we were in the area again when the kids were older, I'd definitely take them back. It was fun for wll ages!

In the morning, the views from your sleeping bag are of the canyon walls ablaze with the morning sun. This week, the canyon was bursting with color from all the flowers and vegetation blooming after the heavy winter snow. The campground is simple, but has plenty of drinking water spigots throughout camp, and even restrooms with flushing toilets and sinks. A half mile from the black bridge crossing the Colorado River and another short walk to Phantom Ranch Village, which had a few services and amenities, this is ideally located for a loop hike down N. Kaibab and up Bright Angel trails. Rangers who checked our permits had a sense of humor and seemed stoked to work in such a stunning place.

    A thought came to me recently as I've been thinking about trips to national parks, and thinking…read moreabout crowds, getting out of them, and seeing parts of the park that are quiet, thoughtful, and less-traveled. That thought was pretty simple. I want to come back here. There are so many parks and so many places in each park that I don't always want to re-visit old stops. But lately that's changed and I want to go back to a lot of them. Sometimes it's just because the first trip was special. Sometimes it's because enough time has passed that you now wonder how you would be changed by a place, now that you're a new person and that place remains unchanged. And sometimes you just want to take someone new and see it through their eyes. I've been in this campground a couple of times, but I've only stayed there once. It sits on the north side of the river, adjacent to Phantom Ranch at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. My stay was in the winter and it was lesser-traveled, though I'm sure it's booked up and busy most of the year as this park is the most popular in the whole parks system. The campground itself is pretty simple, there are a couple dozen sites and each one has a picnic table, a hanger for your gear, and an ammo can where you need to store all of your food to keep it away from pests. The animals here are alarmingly accustomed to humans, and I've had run-ins with deer who are more like entitled hikers as they hog the trail and just roll their eyes at you. The campground is clean (no one drives up in their car and unloads a bunch of trash) but do make sure you show the utmost respect to this area. The whole canyon is special and a sacred place. The campground has water and toilets. Getting here is no small task. As they say, "Going down is optional, coming up is not." You descend several thousand feet from either rim, as this is accessible by the Bright Angel Trail (via the short River Trail that connects to the bridge), South Kaibab, and North Kaibab Trails. Downhill is brutal on knees and ankles, and you have to be in shape. Going up is brutal on everything. If you're staying at Bright Angel Campground, you're probably backpacking and you need to pack light, and know your limits. Give yourself time. You can break up the trip and also stop and Indian Garden and the campground there if you don't want to do it all in one day. There's plenty to do here. It's so odd that you have Phantom Ranch right here, and you can go over and get a drink or snack. If you book ahead of time, you can buy your meals here and have a nice meal. It's spendy, but for crying out loud, they have to pack it in by mule every time! I've taken the hike north to Ribbon Falls which is a nice day activity if you're spending a few nights here. Or you can just lounge at the campground and let your body recover. Shade is a premium in the scorching summer, and winter is bone chilling cold. The shoulder season is nice but crowded, so you really just pick your poison. As I sit here right now in my house in the city, I close my eyes tightly and I can hear the roar of the Colorado River in my mind. I'm back at the campground at the bottom of the canyon. We've left the madness of the village and wandered down through the magic canyon, crossed the bridge, and we're in the tent living our very best life. The moon is glowing and I can *just* imagine it. It's a special place. I'm feeling it -- I do want to go back.

You're not too mad and you're not too sane And you don't compare and you don't complain, All you do is just sit tight, 'cause it's all so, so, so, so down-right, right...:) We arrived at the South Rim very early, we parked in the Raven 1 Lot, up front, please remember where you parked..:) As you approach the edge of the Rim, You loose your breath in the exhilarating view of this Canyon. The Rock formations, the colour of the striations, the depth of the Canyon, with a River far below is quite mind boggling. We spent 6 hours exploring the South Rim from end to end. Free Shuttle busses help you make it back to the area of your car. Regardless of your age "you're a kid again"..:) As you hike, avoid stepping on loose dirt or rocks. We had no trouble. Our GranTyke liked our slower pace. We eventually made it to their Geology Museum which explains it all. This is a must destination for everyone. Simply the best, with no time restraints. Arriving very early gets you there before any crowds that might arrive. It was a slow day, so we had access to staff when needed. We avoided tours and did a self discovery trip so much fun and worthwhile. Bring lots of water and energy bars/food easy to grab and eat on the move. Though this was not our first trip to the Canyon, It was the First for our GranTyke, which made it seem like the first for us..:) Ha-ha-ha! Ho-ho-ho! And a couple of tra-la-las.. That's how we laugh the day away.. In The Merry Old Grand Canyon Best, Avram WizardOz Jr.

    I visited the South Rim as the North Rim was still closed. The sheer scale of the Grand Canyon was…read moremind-boggling. I walked around the village, checking out the art shop and the hotels (and grabbing brunch at El Tovar Hotel). The Geology Museum has more information about the formation of the area, as well as a small gift shop. I made it a bit down Bright Angel Trail, marveling at the views. I also did the 25 mile scenic drive towards the east on Desert View Drive - definitely stop at some pull outs since the views are different as you go along the rim. Things I have to do in the future: -Take the shuttle to Hermit's rest (be sure to sit on the right side since you get all the views that way) since it was wayyy too crowded when I looked at the bus stop -Get a ticket to climb up Desert View's tower. I wish there was more information about the Indigenous peoples and their cultures who lived in this area. There wasn't a lot of information provided, but a lot about the architect who designed a lot of the buildings. It seemed unbalanced. Also, I wish that Desert View went into more history of the building - apparently it was controversial when it was built. Amazing visit.

    It's just long holes in the Earth! I don't see the appeal. There weren't even any trees when I was…read morethere. Also I visited during Autumn and it was still the temperature of the surface of the fucking sun.

    Great staff and walking distance to a Starbucks and other goods. Close to the highway, but road…read morenoise was minimal. The campground was clean, well maintained. Had solid service with the Verizon network. Showers were paid for use with tokens purchased at the front desk. The tokens were refundable. You also see elk walking around in the morning which is a bonus.

    I'm kind of rooting for this park. I understand the negative reviews due to the age of the park,…read morebut hey, I'm old too so grace all around! Please try to keep an open mind...Not a 5 star campground by appearance but we had a great experience here. Pros: Nicest staff ever Wide and long drive through site -(intentional and thoughtful of mgmt) Not too crowded Quiet Only 1 mile from Grand Canyon entrance Walking distance: Market, Starbucks, McDonald's and other village shops and restaurants Good cell service w/ ATT and no issues with Starlink connectivity or solar Excellent communication during county mandated planned fire related power outage. Made sure everyone had ice, could run generators, offered glow sticks, etc. Offered to discount or free us from our reservation if we wanted to leave over this unexpected issue but we were good with portable power. Cons: It is old but if you just need a base camp you can't beat the location so it's worth the price savings and proximity to the Grand Canyon If you want kid entertainment like a playground or pool you will not find that here Older bathrooms but didn't need them
