Cameron's returning to visit North American state (6)

I believe the answer is:

nevada

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'state' is the definition.
(Nevada is an example)

'cameron's returning to visit north american' is the wordplay.
'cameron' becomes 'dave' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'returning' is a reversal indicator.
'to visit' is an insertion indicator.
'north american' becomes 'na'.
'dave' reversed gives 'evad'.
'evad' placed within 'na' is 'NEVADA'.

Can you help me to learn more?
