Doc Campbell's Post

"While planning a visit to Gila Cliff Dwellings National Monument, I learned about Doc Campbell's Post. This quaint little outpost caters to travelers, visitors, and hikers from the Continental Divide Trail. Most everything you might need as a camper/hiker can be found here. It's really great. One of the things previous visitors raved about was the homemade ice cream. The coffee flavor seemed to be a favorite. I tied some. It was so good I had to try other flavors. The staff is very friendly, really down to earth folks. They encouraged me to wander the post and look around. They're so welcoming. If you're visiting the area for whatever reason, you really should stop by (and try some ice cream). Check the post hours before hand."

"Love stopping at this store after a long day at the river. Amazing customer service! The Lopez family are amazing people, providing an excellent storefront. Best ice cream in the southwest!!!!"

"What jerks! We stopped to grab some food and take our little pups and eat under the shade trees. They literally RAN out of the store telling me dogs weren't allowed where the shade was and to take them back by my car! Where there was NO shade. Took our money and our family and left."

"Great Stop! The new owners are wonderful and very helpful to all those that stop by. Great selection of food for a hiker resupply stop. They were also generous enough to allow me a ride back to town with them. Greatly appreciated! I look forward to my stop there again next year. Hopefully a bit earlier in the season with cooler temperatures. :) P.S. Great ice cream!"

"This is a clean and cute shop. You can get just about anything you need including gas for your vehicle. The have snack foods, sodas, and other light groceries. They also have nick nacks and local art from authentic indian tribes. The best thing, though, is their home made ice cream. I had their lemon berry and it was delicious!!"
