Camarillo, CA
Camarillo Springs
Camarillo Springs is a golf-course community on the east side of Camarillo, wrapped around the public Camarillo Springs Golf Course at the base of the Conejo Grade, the stretch of US-101 climbing toward Thousand Oaks. The neighborhood sits entirely inside City of Camarillo limits, confirmed by the city's own reference map and by state filings naming the city as lead agency over the golf course parcel. Housing spans several separately governed HOAs. The Springs, a 259-home gated subcommunity, is a legally designated senior development restricted to residents 55 and older under Civil Code Section 51.3; other sub-communities here aren't uniformly age-restricted. In 2023, the city council voted unanimously to reject a proposal that would have shrunk the golf course for new housing, citing flood and fire-hazard concerns. After a 2013 wildfire stripped nearby hillsides, the city installed debris-flow barriers above the neighborhood that have held through subsequent storms. Camarillo Grove Park, 24.5 acres at the road's end, was deeded to the local recreation district in 2002.

The Housing Stock
Camarillo Springs mixes a legally age-restricted, gated single-family subcommunity with separately governed manufactured-home, townhome, and condo tracts built up around the golf course over time, a multi-product, multi-HOA pattern rather than one uniform tract.
Frequently asked
Is Camarillo Springs in the City of Camarillo, or unincorporated Ventura County?
City of Camarillo. The city's own reference map places the entire golf course and residential tract inside city limits, and the state's environmental-review record for the golf-course redevelopment application names the City of Camarillo as lead agency, consistent with reporting describing the Camarillo City Council, not the county Board of Supervisors, as the body that voted on it.
Is Camarillo Springs a 55+ community?
Partly. The Springs, a 259-home gated subcommunity, is legally designated as a senior development restricted to residents 55 and older under California's Civil Code Section 51.3. Other sub-communities in the same footprint, including a manufactured-home park, townhomes, and condos, aren't uniformly age-restricted; don't assume the whole neighborhood carries the same designation.
Is the Camarillo Springs Golf Course still open?
Yes, as of July 2026. The course has survived a multi-year redevelopment fight, a 2020 closure tied to the pandemic that reopened within months, and a 2025 ownership transition partnering with Western Golf Properties on renovations. Confirm current status before relying on it, since golf-course operations can change.
What happened with the golf course redevelopment proposal?
A developer spent years pursuing a General Plan Amendment for 248 age-restricted homes on 31 acres of the golf course property. The Camarillo City Council voted unanimously on November 8, 2023 to reject the referral, citing flood-risk analysis and fire-hazard evacuation concerns. The course remains an operating public facility.
What happened with the wildfire and debris flows?
The Springs Fire burned 24,251 acres beginning May 2, 2013, near the neighborhood, without itself destroying or damaging Camarillo Springs homes. Heavy rain in late 2014 triggered a debris flow on December 12, 2014, damaging 16 homes. The City of Camarillo then installed flexible debris-flow barriers across three hillside gullies by early 2016, which held through that winter's storms with no comparable event reported since.
Is Camarillo Springs gated?
Only confirmed for The Springs, the 259-home senior subcommunity, which the association's own site describes as gated. Gate status for the neighborhood's other sub-HOAs was not independently confirmed against any official source, so don't assume the whole area is gated.
