Camarillo, California Travel Guide


Camarillo in Ventura County is one of the fastest growing cities north of the Conejo Grade. With houses springing up in this rich valley that's long been known for its soils, climate and year-round growing season, the hotels are likewise fairly new, offering travelers a place to stay not far from the beach. Nearby beaches include Oxnard and Ventura. But the highlight of Camarillo is its focus on history.

Several top notch museums include Camarillo Ranch and an aviation museum. Outlet shopping, a quaint downtown and modern discount malls make Camarillo a bright, happy place to stop and wander. While its development seems to be toward residential and commercial growth, Camarillo's prime location will make it a tourism asset for years to come.

What you get in Camarillo are several affordable chain hotel options that are freeway close, and access to the beaches, Santa Monica mountains and Los Angeles. The attractions in Camarillo offer several hours of fun, and your best bet is to include the nearby destinations of Oxnard and Ventura during this Camarillo stopover.

Ventura County in which Camarillo is located is a hidden gem. We like to think of this shining star as our special place where we leave a bit of heart each time we visit. It's close enough to L.A. and Santa Barbara to enjoy the city amenities. Its mountains that stretch to the beach provide artistic landscapes that easily provide material for an artist to paint.
