We drove 3 hours round trip out of our way to have lunch here. This is a must stop! More authentic, American Indian made items than you can imagine. If you're looking for something really special, there's a separate store with antique pieces. The restaurant is busy but has the service worked out so there's not too much waiting. The atmosphere is old, elegant and there is a great view of red rocks. I highly recommend anything with the Indian fry bread - stew, burger, taco or French dip.
The Trading Post was such a convenient and beautiful place to stay! Easy off/easy on to Hwy 89. We were in the Hopi building, 3rd floor, and had a great view of the river. It was surprisingly quiet given that it is right on the highway. So nice to have the restaurant right next to the rooms. Really good food, extremely reasonable prices! Our server was so kind and helpful. The trading post had some very unique Native American crafts and art, plus a huge selection of touristy souvenirs. We were just passing through on this trip, but the next time we head to both rims of the Grand Canyon, we'll stay there again. Bonus: there is a post office on the grounds as well.
We stopped in for dinner/shopping during a road trip. The restaurant is decorated wonderfully with a beautiful tin ceiling and native art hanging everywhere. The building is historic and feels amazing to spend time in a place so many other souls have passed thru while traveling. Take time to see all the beautiful art in the shop as well- these artists are so talented!! It should be a museum.
My Lady has never had a Navajo Taco. Cameron Trading Post serves the BEST Tacos in the area, so we took a little trip out for her to experience them first hand!! The food was AMAZING, and the rustic decor and views are worth checking out!! The gift shop is also amazing offering just about anything you would want, and even several things you didn’t know you wanted or need too!! Great place to stop for great food and also things to remember the trip through!!
We Always stop here for lunch when we're up in the area. All the staff are friendly!! Lots of items in the large gift shop are made by the local Navajo/Hopi tribes...beautiful items & I always find something to buy for myself or as a gift. I love the Indian Fry Bread!! Did I say how much I like the staff?? Very lovely people...Always! We've been here numerous times since moving to the Verde Valley last year & we'll keep coming back. Dining room is very large so they can accommodate large groups, plenty of staff to take care of all the customers.
It was a recommended visit for reliable and authentic navajo jewelry. Jeff, Theresa, and a manager (who's name i can't remember!) Were awesome. I found a navajo pearl bracelet that I had been looking for but it was too big. Jeff immediately asked his mgr if it could be re beaded and then shipped to me. Theresa was more than willing to help and they all made it happen. Jeff was extremely knowledgeable with the pieces and stones that they sell and even shared with me how he has started making his own jewelry and silversmithing, which was beautiful. I couldn't have been more pleased with meeting him and finding exactly what I was looking for. I will definitely stop in when I'm in the area again.
An amazing motel, a historical place, well kept, with solid quality furniture. AC was a little bit loud, but for the rest we loved the atmosphere and how clean and nit it was. Highly recommend yhe souvenir shop and restaurant too.
A lot to like about Cameron Trading Post. I booked a couple nights here because how centrally located it is to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, Sedona and Page. And they have Fry bread. The store and restaurant does not stay open late(at least in November), closing at 8. But if you need to check in late, there's someone in the building nearest the gas station. The room we stayed in was clean and woodsy, with a lot of Navajo design to it. Everything was clean and working. Only the water was a little lukewarm in the shower. But overall, very nice. The restaurant also had a very old school lodge decor to it. The service was excellent, very friendly and the food was delicious. First night we had Navajo tacos with their signature fry bread. Nachos and guac were amazing. The next night we had green chili burgers and those were very good. But the chopped green chilis on top stored massive amounts of heat. Watch your mouth, lol. Again, I can't say enough about the location. It's at the intersection of 64 and 89. 64 takes you to the east entrance of the South Rim. The South entrance was a total mess, incredibly overcrowded. It's where 90% of visitors enter. Our day at the GC ended just after sunset, at Lipan Point. We were 35 minutes away from Cameron. Checked in, had dinner and then went back to Lipan for astrophotography. Still was back at the room and in bed before 10:30PM. Next day was a 90 minute drive to Sedona. At sunset, we headed back to Cameron. Had dinner at 7:30. Had a nice relaxing night. Then a 1 hour 40 minute drive to Page for a fun day. I was very happy with the location and the comfort. And, for being a one off, it was still very easy to book and deal with. Now that the Grand Canyon hotels are closed for the foreseeable future, Cameron is going to be an even better place to stay.

I recently had the opportunity to visit the captivating Little Colorado River in Arizona, and it truly left me in awe of nature's wonders. Nestled amidst the picturesque landscapes of the Grand Canyon region, this hidden gem offers a tranquil retreat away from the bustling crowds. The moment I laid eyes on the Little Colorado River, I was captivated by its pristine beauty. The river, adorned with vibrant turquoise waters, gracefully meanders through the dramatic canyons, creating a breathtaking sight that feels like a surreal painting come to life. The contrasting hues of the reddish-brown rocks against the crystal-clear waters create a mesmerizing visual feast for visitors. What makes the Little Colorado River truly unique is the serene and untouched ambiance it exudes. Unlike the larger Colorado River, which attracts hordes of tourists, the Little Colorado River provides a more intimate and secluded experience. The absence of large crowds allowed me to immerse myself in the tranquility of nature, appreciating the sounds of the flowing water and the gentle breeze rustling through the surrounding vegetation. Exploring the river offers various recreational activities for nature enthusiasts. For those seeking adventure, the river provides excellent opportunities for kayaking and rafting, allowing visitors to witness its natural splendor up close. The calm stretches of water interspersed with mild rapids create an exhilarating yet accessible experience for both beginners and seasoned adventurers. If you prefer a more relaxed encounter, there are ample spots along the riverbanks where you can find solace and admire the mesmerizing scenery. Sitting on the river's edge, with toes dipped in the cool water, I felt a sense of serenity and harmony with the surroundings. It's an ideal place for photography enthusiasts, as every angle offers postcard-worthy views that will leave you spellbound. While visiting the Little Colorado River, I highly recommend venturing to nearby viewpoints such as the famous Horseshoe Bend or the awe-inspiring Antelope Canyon. These natural wonders complement the experience and showcase the raw beauty of the region. It's worth noting that the Little Colorado River is a sacred place for Native American tribes, and it's important to treat it with respect and reverence. Respecting the environment and adhering to responsible tourism practices ensures the preservation of this extraordinary destination for future generations to enjoy. In conclusion, my visit to the Little Colorado River in Arizona was an unforgettable experience. The untouched beauty, tranquil ambiance, and a sense of connection with nature make it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventurers alike. Whether you're seeking thrilling outdoor activities or simply yearning for a peaceful retreat, the Little Colorado River will undoubtedly leave you with lifelong memories of its mesmerizing allure.
The new paved parking lot is very nice! Google weekend hours (closed) is not always correct. Quantity of vendors is difficult to plan due to weather dependence & seasonal.
When coming through the desert we were just ahead of a huge thunderstorm and stopped for the Little Colorado River Overlook it was pretty bland, but still it is a significant feature and worth a few photo's. But it is an introduction to the Grand Canyon which will take your breath away, so enjoy both, we did.
Visited in December 2018 as a family with a 13yo. This is the first overlook to admire the Grand Canyon if you are travelling from Flagstaff north along route 89 and turn left on route 64. It's empty and delegated, in comparison with the more advertised Desert View Tower overlook. So if you have time, definitely go for it. If you don't - you can skip it for better views ahead.

This place was scenic and breathtakingly beautiful. There were a lot of native jewelry vendors.
Nice spot to stop and take a look around. They even have local vendors selling items out of booths.
They take donations going in. Very beautiful and worth to stop and see. They have little stores and restrooms!
Really nice first look at the canyon. Lots of people selling native jewellery and such. Loads of photo opportunities. Beware critters!

Nice place to fuel up before going out to the north Rim inside of the chevron location you can get into Burger King and the offer plenty of Native American art and jewelry. I liked this location. Restrooms are in the gas station and inside the Burger King. Gas was affordable.
This Trading Post is interesting to walk through. The bathroom could have been cleaner. The employee could have definitely been friendlier and more welcoming. There is a small museum inside, with some fascinating information.
This is a great stop for anyone traveling to the Grand Canyon, passing through from Utah or coming off Navajo Nation for local commuters. Accommodating gas pumps, clean restrooms, large selection of sodas and snacks, coffee, fountain beverages, collectibles, jewelry, apparel, authentic and NON authentic Native American merchandise. They have Macallisters and Burger King for food options. All together, it’s a cool stop!
I LITERALLY GOT PROFILED! Man all I bought was a god damn soda. I go out to check out with TWO cashiers in the front. A female and a male, I get checked out by the female. Freaking mind you I'm a driver and I'm wearing a high vezz shirt. It's not like you can mistake me you can see me a mile away. So I get going on my way and once I turn the corner tell me why the male worker FOLLOWS me towards the trucks and stops me to say I didn't pay. Man I was like what the hell are you talking about?? I just paid right in FRONT OF YOU!! Dude seemed spaced out or doing something on the side. Because how are you so strung up on a soda! I feel bad for some of these stores but I'd definitely never spend any money here or stop here again. I hope this place closes down 👎👎👎👎👎
Great pit stop on the way out to page! Be sure to fuel up and get some snacks here! Use the bathrooms, they are nice and clean and there isn’t another one until you get to page. Support the Navajo by buying something from their trading post.
Perhaps the cleanest bathrooms I've seen, as well as building overall. And well standards have raised due to current events, I couldn't find a single speck of dirt. Great place to stop on your way out of the Grand Canyon.
Nice store and have many local stuffs and has clean restrooms.
So shocked to find this fantastic place out in the middle of nowhere. We stopped to eat at our favorite fast food place, burger king, and found it to be a great place to eat. Clean, comfortable, nice views, the food was one of the best from BK. The service was fast and friendly. We will be definitely returning when we have more time to hang out and look around.
