Camarillo -

Attractions

Aside from the enormous outlet mall in Camarillo, it is worth checking out Old Town which is just west of the 101 highway. It is a small and somewhat quaint street with small shops and restaurants.

Shopping

Known for its large variety of outlets, Camarillo was engrained in the psyche of every Southern Californian (and others) when the Camarillo Premium Outlets opened in the mid 1990s. Packed with deals on everything from house wares to Versace, the outdoor complex is an absolute madhouse on weekends and traditional holiday shopping days (open 12AM-1159PM on "Black Friday"). It faces the 101 and is close to Camarillo Airport.

Camarillo, Ventura County, is served by more and more frequent Amtrak California and Metrolink Commuter Rail service from San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley to the south and San Luis Obispo to the north. The station is located at the intersection of Lewis Road and Ventura Road at one end of Old Town. From here, you are not far from many eateries, a wonderful Saturday morning farmer's market and the famous (infamous?) Camarillo Premium Outlets. Most, however, will chose to drive and that is very easy, given that Camarillo is right on the US 101 Freeway. Camarillo Airport (CMA/KCMA) is a major general aviation hub.

Get around

While Camarillo does have CAT (Camarillo Area Transit) bus service, this is incredibly limited and a car really is the only practical way to get around. Walking Camarillo's wide boulevards is recommended if you want to experience the city that was rated number 2 in the world for weather, the clean air and numerous parks, but know that you really wont get very far in the spread out city.

Dining

 • Chuy's The Camarillo branch of this Arizona-based chain is rather popular with locals as well as car buffs who come to the weekly gathering of hotrods. The Cal-Mex influenced food and full bar keep people coming back all the time
 • Wok N' South This new addition is capitalizing on the growing popularity of Mongolian BBQ. Open for lunch and dinner, this place lets patrons pick from a variety of healthy cuts of meat, vegetables and excellent sauces. Dinner is all you can eat.

Drink

Camarillo is generally a suburban bedroom community and what bar scene there is generally dominated by locals. Chuy's Restaurant is probably your best bet with The Clubhouse also an option. Don't even bother with the lone nightclub in Camarillo which has gone through multiple name changes and is still unpopular with anyone over 22.
