My husband and I stayed here on our way to the Grand Canyon from Yellowstone. As we were driving through the dessert to get to Cameron, there was nothing around and we were getting very nervous about what we were going to find at Cameron. When we first pulled into Cameron Trading post we breathed a sigh of relief as the outside looked like a nice motel. When we walked into our room for the night we were shocked, it was the nicest room we had stayed in during our honeymoon. There was a living room with a couch with a pull out bed, a table and kitchenette. A small hallway leading to the bathroom, that had a tub, as well as the bedroom. The bedroom was huge, it had a queen size bed on risers and an armoire with a TV. If we are ever back in that area of the country, we will definitely be staying there again. read more

Perfect stop on the way to the Grand Canyon. We were seated immediately and service was fast. Waiters and staff were all kind and helpful. We got the Navajo tacos. Great fry bread! They were big enough to split and did it for us! read more

Cameron Trading Post - Navajo Tacos split in half - Hotels Near Me - Cameron, Arizona

I haven't had a chance to visit or stay here, but I've had a spectacular 'online' experience. I recently moved to AZ, though I'd traveled here often. I purchased a small kachina as a birthday present for my nephew, and wanted to learn more about it. Checking online, the Cameron Trading Post kept popping up. So I sent them an email asking if they could help. I got a quick reply from Josh Atkinson asking me to send photos and he'd see what he could find out. I sent a photo of that kachina as well as an unfinished one that was a gift to my family in the late 1960s. With some queries by his staff who had relatives on the First Mesa, He got back to me with great information about both kachinas. I can now share the stories with my nephew and my family. I'm so great full for the help I received, and will definitely be stopping by the trading post when I can get up to north Arizona. read more

Wonderful service. Kind, accommodating, and helpful. We shopped, ate, and stayed in the Hotel. The hotel was older but it was clean and had gorgeous views. The restaurant staff was incredibly attentive, sweet, soft spoken, and helpful. They did have a few vegetarian options but if I were to suggest anything it would adding more vegetarian food with suggestions from an actual vegetarian. The store was delightful and the staff were very knowledgeable. The gardens are gorgeous! We will definitely be back! read more

Surprisingly lush location on the edge of the Little Colorado river. The gift shop is gigantic with some treasures hidden among the kitch. Beautiful rugs. The restraurant is a large open area with lovely art displayed around the large dark antique wood furnishings. The food was as authentic as I've ever had. The portions HUGE. Consider even splitting the "small" Indian taco. We especially enjoyed the pork stew. A fry bread could be split 4 ways and still have some left! That and endless coffee and fresh ice tea makes for a nice halfway point of a long drive to refresh and recharge. Don't drive past this place! read more

Based on some online recommendations we decided to stop here before heading into the grand canyon. We experienced both the shop and the restaurant. First: The shop One word: expensive. The selection was large, but there wasn't much I was willing to pull my wallet out for. We did buy some small souvenirs like stickers for our gear box and bracelets for our daughters, but anything Native American related was more than I was willing to pay. While, you may find a good selection, I think the road side vendors and those at some of the scenic stops offer more competitive prices. Second: The restaurant Meh. I would have a difficult time believing this is representative of authentic Navajo food. We ordered the Navajo taco and the hot beef taco, I have had Indian tacos at a pow-wow once as a kid, I don't know if it was my unrefined palate or whether it was legitimately more flavorful, but I believe these tacos are bland, westernized and not worth the trip back. I think the fry bread it came on was good, but the rest of the ingredients were generic and probably canned as another reviewer suggested. Our service was good, it wasn't too busy when we arrived, the portion sizes are very large, I could have easily shared my meal. Overall the place was clean, service was friendly, it is a shame the shop is so over priced and the restaurant was so bland. I think this place has potential, but for now I'll pass. read more

Very fun place to stay. It looks like a utility knife of a place to stay with everything they had to offer. In our case, food, gas, lodging, and souvenirs. The view of the canyon is nice if you're not from the area, and the garden area is nicely done and peaceful. The room itself is rustic, but not shabby or sad. It fits the environment and setting well. We were very comfortable and slept very well. If they just re-did the bath and showerheads, it would probably pick things up just that little bit. The food is great. We had both dinner and breakfast, and both were excellent. Very reasonably priced and good portions. Anything with the Navaho bread is a must. The gift shop is quite large and well stocked. If you're looking for something to take along from your trip, you're likely to find it there. The staff at every part of the post was very nice, and very helpful. read more

Even with the road construction...Definitely worth the stop. ..great food..fry bread is outstanding. Typical arts and crafts for sale but a nicer selection than most places read more

I have to say that the sandwiches here were great! We four people tried four sandwiches and all of them were wonderful. I'm from Texas, so I ordered their daily special----a Texas style sandwichfor only 7.99 + tax. Quite a deal! Besides, the inside decorations were navajo style, very special! read more

We stopped here with our tour group on the way back to Scottsdale, as did a lot of other tour groups from the Grand Canyon. This place is huge and has tons and tons of stuff. In the back a a restaurant, that makes food hella fast including Fry Bread. I got some to go to take on our ride back. So good. I mean it is fried bread, hard to go wrong. read more

I had one of the best sandwiches I have ever eaten in my life here. Navajo French Dip.. with green chile.

Our second stay here! Food in restaurant seemed better this time. Gift shop has a lot of nice Native American made items. Motel room had very beautiful furniture, great view of canyon from window, nice towels,etc. Really enjoyed our visit. read more

When we arrived we were not sure whether we wanted to try this place or not because it did look touristy and there were some mixed reviews on the food. We decided we would give it a go and were pleasantly surprised. We could see that the portions were generous so we decided to share the fried chicken and some fry bread. Both were VERY tasty. The atmosphere is very simple but clean. The staff was very friendly. As has been mentioned in other reviews, the bathrooms were exceptionally clean - the cleanest I experienced on our entire trip. read more

The wife-unit and I shared a Navajo Taco here on Valentine's Day - it was a very romantic experience :). Think of a taco salad, but instead of a tortilla shell, imagine a doughnut (fry bread is pretty amazing stuff). Service was the best, and you can even buy treasures after your meal in the enormous trading post that the restaurant is snuggled inside of. read more

Awesome place to stop and shop and get some food. The navajo tacos are delicious!! I found two great turquoise inlay rings here for a reasonable price. Definitely worth stopping at!! read more

Good place to stop and stretch your legs. Place has plenty of souvenirs for sale, nice clean bathrooms and a restaurant with a nice view.

Totally organized, restaurant smelled great, nice view from the dining room and handmade Navajo rugs in house. Worth a stop in the gallery.

Food and the motel was great.. scenery awesome.. the service in the restaurant needs some improvement.. I waited for 20 minutes for some one to seat us. There was no line and the restaurant wasn't busy... staff kept walking by us with no intention to assist.. so other than the poor restaurant customer service is was good.. totally a tourist location read more

Tourist must-stop. It takes a while to get through it all. It was a fun place to stop for souvenirs on the Navajo reservation in the middle of the painted desert They also do have some authentic Native American handmade items for sale. There is a small grocery area and they have fountain drinks. Restaurant is on site. Beautiful views and decor. I had the Navajo taco well...because it is the thing to eat! Fry bread is really good. Kinda tastes like a non sweet funnel cake? We had a good time and there was still much to see. read more

Stopped here looking for souvenirs for our neighbors/friends and for a good bite to eat while visiting our home after being away for a few years. The restaurant food was ok, I ordered the stew, which I received mushy and cold, my husband ordered the Navajo burger & a Navajo taco to-go. Our service was terrible. I asked our server for certain requests like chili on the side and a to go cup for my stew. I never got my to go cup for my stew or chili on the side, my taco had chili everywhere along with no tomatoes on my taco. While we ate we kept trying to wave down someone to refill our drinks. We got tired of sitting at our table waiting for the check because it was taking about 20 mins. We decided to pay at the register and the cashier told us we need to wait at our table to pay the server. I explained that we waited for 20 mins but he never came back to our table. Not even to check on us or ask about our food, only to bring the to-go order. We paid our server and also paid a 20% tip. The curio shop was busy with cashiers trying on the jewelry that was on display instead of wanting to help us purchase items we were wanting or answer questions we had. The one star is for the clean restrooms though. read more

Fantastic place when coming or going to the East Rim of the Grand Canyon. Yes, you have to go through a chatchky place to get there, but the food is well worth it. Not too expensive, considering it is really the only place in 40 miles to eat. We shared the Navajo taco and, believe me, it is enough for two people if you have regular appetites (or are eating lunch, like my mother and I). We did have a wait to get drinks, and again to get our food, even though the place was not that busy. We saw some of the other platters and the amount of food served is quite large. The burgers were enough to feed a very hungry person and we overheard the man next to us saying that it was a very good burger though I can't vouch for that. If you're in the area and hungry, this is a great place. It is not really a destination in itself but its proximity to the Grand Canyon speaks loads. The food is better than what I saw being served in the park, so eat here before or after if you're in the mood. read more

We stopped here on the way back from Page to eat. The food was good and the service was absolutely great. Around noon on a Sunday we were seated right away, and in less than a minute somone was there to take our drink orders and throughout the rest of the meal we were well cared for by about 3 different people who kept checking to make sure we had everything we needed. We really felt like we were guests in their home. We walked around the grounds a little just to let the kids burn off some steam and even the maintenance workers had smiles and were very friendly. Inside the gallery the girl working was happy to explain some of the art without trying to sell me on it. What started as a stop for food ended up becoming a nice memory from our weekend getaway. read more

Stopped by last week during a long drive. The place is cool and the gift shop has a lot of neat art and trinkets. The food however, was not so good... Everyone was raving about the navajo tacos. Honestly they are nothing special and reminded me of store-bought Old el Paso tacos. The chili was pretty much the same thing, so I wouldn't recommend getting them together. I really don't get the hype, but maybe I just didn't order the right things on the menu. read more

Great food. Huge portions! Good service! Try any of there dishes! And share with your loved one!

Such a nice place. The views of the Little Colorado River are breath taking. The rooms are gorgeous from the wood furniture to the captivating pictures of the surrounding areas on the walls. The pricing of the rooms are set at a good rate. The staff we're always welcoming and smiling. Definitely going to return. read more

Great food. Great environment. Great place to stop, whether you are traveling to or from Utah, or to or from the Grand Canyon. This place has great gifts- regular tourist stuff and Native American-made items. We stopped for the famous Navajo Taco. This did not disappoint. As seen in the picture, this was a big meal. Definitely recommend. read more

I give this restaurant 5 stars. It's very good food and nice services. Super big dining area too. Very reasonable price. It's one of the highlights of our trip to Grand Canyon. read more

Good stop for rest. Bought some choschkies and had the burgers and Indian tacos. Food was average but trading post kept us entertained.

This place is way nicer than it needs to be. It's really the only option for somewhere to stay near the east end of the Grand Canyon, so I was honestly expecting something bland and tacky. Not only was the room charming and comfortable (and clean!), there was a beautiful courtyard (pick the Garden View option when booking your room!) and the shop had lots of cool trinkets and souvenirs. The hotel staff were also very friendly and helpful. Another thing - the view from Desert View (closer to Cameron Trading Post) and the watchtower is easily as impressive as those along the South Rim, and it is WAY less crowded and has a much more scenic route to get there. read more

The restaurant has great views and there is a lot to look at in the trading post. My experience has always been good here, but I took off one star for a couple of reasons. My fiancé and I ordered a Navajo taco and two sopaipillas. Both orders were tasty, but I'm from the valley and I've just had much better Navajo tacos. The meat was scarce and just ground beef. There were too many beans and it wasn't very seasoned. The sopaipillas were HUGE! We could have easily shared one. Lastly, while the trading post offers a lot of good items, there were too many imports for my liking. The staff didn't know where items came from. Personally, I like to know that the products I purchase are authentic. Furthermore, it's nice to know more information as to who the artists are. read more

Cameron Trading Post - HALF a Navajo taco. You can easily share these. - Hotels Near Me - Cameron, Arizona

I have never had the opportunity to eat here. The dining room is beautiful, the pressed tin roof, the fireplace, the rugs on the walls!!! The rugs on the walls reflected the art and souvenirs of the gift shop... i may get myself in trouble and i mean no insult... WHY is there anything besides the navajo taco on the menu??? The lightest frybread i have ever had!! Melt in your mouth puffy clouds sent from the creator!! The ground meat was tasty the whole beans were perfect cheese and lettuce plentiful.. a dollop of green chiles on top... all came together in perfection.. we split one and it was plenty until i got home and craved more!!! The small container of hot salsa is very hot.. be warned but the sweat ring was sooo worth it. 5 stars!! I wanted to hug everyone!! Touristy spot but wow worth it! read more

Delicious food and reasonable kid friendly menu choices. We had the beef stew with fry bread and the Navajo taco-both excellent choices. Afterwards, we shopped for beautiful jewelry for my teenage girls and they even had a fossil/shark section for my 8 year old boy. Great stop between Page and Flagstaff. read more

My Navajo Taco was so good. The fry bread was cooked just right, a little crispy. The waitress was great. She provided me more then one sour cream and I don't even think she charged me, that was nice! Went there twice in the last 3 months. I will be back again next time I pass through. read more

Cameron Trading Post - Navajo Taco - Hotels Near Me - Cameron, Arizona

This place is awesome! My first time to the Grand Canyon, I'll never forget it. Arrived late at night and they had one room left. Comfortable beds & feels very homey. Breakfast was perfect as it fueled us to last hours at the canyon. Massive souvenir shop with unique items. read more

There is a large menu with a ton of options for lunch. There is a lot of seating too so you don't have to wait. We went with their very popular Navajo Taco, which we split. The fry bread base is super delicious and fluffy, so the plate-sized portion was plenty for two very hungry people. We also tried the guacamole, which was fresh and good. Their chips are not homemade like most restaurants though. I did get the Sweet Tea, and if you are from the south it will not be the sweet brewed delight you are expecting. I would skip the beverage and go with another. Altogether a very cool place to eat if you don't mind the kitschy souvenirs. There are more authentic places to eat and shop, but this was easy and tasty. read more

If you find yourself passing by this trading post, stop on in. By far has the most collectibles I have seen in my Arizona adventures thus far. The restaurant inside has a nice view and serves a Navajo bread called, fry bread. It will fill you up quick! Everyone was welcoming and if you need a souvenir, I am sure you will find one here. Some of the prettiest hand painted clay jars and pots are available here. read more

Menu looks reasonably good. Execution is so poor. I'd expect excellent green chili in the southwest, and got potatoes floating in broth. Such a bummer. read more

This was the cleanest 4 plus star rated place i stayed on my move across country. The people were more friendly than any of the places I stayed or visited. The food was awesome and great value and large portioned ! In fact i coulnt possibly say enough about the food friendliness and professionalism. The rooms are well kept, clean! Even the pet room I stayed in was clean, grounds and parking area clean. Spoke much with the employee's they were all very helpful in so many ways. I will visit this place again just to visit someday! read more

On Highway 89 between Flagstaff and Marble Canyon, just past the turn on Highway 64 is Cameron. With a couple gas stations, and the Massive Cameron Trading Post. This place is a magnet for all who pass, or even come close as you better stop here, as there ain't much else in any direction. The tour buses for the Grand Canyon stop, and judging from the full parking lot, so does everyone else. The Trading post is filled with more stuff than one can imagine. Curios, trinkets, jewelry, convenience items, and, of course, a huge restaurant. It is a part of the trip through the area so stop, shop, (or at least look) and enjoy the hospitality. read more
