Camarillo Premium Outlets

09/06/2007 Posted by svantico

I live in Santa Clarita but cheerfully drive the hour to get to the Camarillo outlets. They have a really nice selection of outlet stores and the mall is nicely designed out so you're pretty much walking in a big circle around the vast parking lot. Favorite stores include Van Heusen, Geoffrey Beane, Bass, Mikasa, Brooks Bros., Ann Taylor and on and on. It's true that in some stores it's hard to tell the difference between regular prices and outlet prices, but at places like Brooks Bros. and Ann Taylor the savings are tremendous. There's a decent food court and restrooms are in a few locations. Always check at the office for discounts. In the Fall, I drive along Highway 126 between Santa Clarita and the 101; the scenic drive really adds to the overall experience. That drive is always nice, but in Fall you see pumpkin fields along the 101! Get to the mall early and pick a plum parking spot in a central location. It's nice to be able to dump your goodies in your car as you go rather than dragging them around all day. Great place for Christmas shopping too!

Pros: Variety of Stores, Great Discounts, Brand Names Galore

Cons: Crowded Later in Day

Camarillo Outlets have plenty of good stores with great deals all in one stop. It's a must visit spot when you want to get all of your shopping done in one day.

Pros: Various Stores in One Place

Cons: Hard to get a parking spot

With any outlet mall, it's always hit or miss. It just depends when you go and if you get lucky. I was there last weekend and didn't find anything. Although the Saks and Barney's had ok inventory. I'm sure it will get better once the sales are over at the retail stores and it's sent to the outlets.

Pros: Nice outdoor walk

Pros: bargain price

Cons: too many people

Every once in awhile im forced to come here when driving on the way to oxnard with family. I dont mind much because sometimes you can find some good deals and there are so many stores to look at. But i wouldnt recommend making a day out of it. You can only look so much! Plus here you mostly find styles that are already going out of style and the prices arent that great. In other words if your driving by.. cool.. but dont go out of your way.

My wife and I stop and shop at the Camarillo Outlets every year on our way to or from Santa Barbara. We always load up on tons of high quality discounted gear from great brand name stores like Polo, Gap, Nike, and Timberland. The best feature about the Outlets is the broad selection and the worst feature is trying to find parking on busy weekend days.

Pros: All The Best Brands

Cons: Finding Parking

and fantastic parking. This outlet was a surprise the first time I came here. It doesn't look as large when you see it from the highway, but this place is so big that you need to move your car or you'll be exhausted if you walk to all the shops. There is so much to choose from and I always want to at least window shop every store. It's a bit of a drive from where I live but is well worth planning a day there.

Like any outlet mall, there's a mix of great bargains and complete ripoffs here. And it's not as easy as one might think to find the former. Seriously, it seems like some of the stores (especially Banana Republic) charge more for items at their outlet than they do at their regular stores. And the stuff that is on sale at BR is of very poor quality. However, stores like Ann Taylor and whatever the name of the shoe store is near it, offer much better deals on items of good quality. No matter where you go, it requires a lot of weeding through junk and overpriced merchandise to find the too few and far between treasures.

Pros: some good finds, discounted prices

Cons: far away, lots of junk, overpriced items

Came here recently, and I was pleasantly surprised at what I found. The outlets carried most of my favorite brands, and I came away leaving with my money's worth.

Pros: price, variety

Generally I do not like shopping in malls, like most guys. I was dragged to Camarillo one Saturday by my girlfriend and was surprised to learn there are at least a couple of great shops for men also. Timberland has some offerings that were simply unbelievable - I ended spending about $250 there for several pairs of boots, jackets, pants, gloves and backpacks. Also, Remington has some "specials" on knives, so I bought several knives there also along with a shaver and electric toothbrush. Levis had several specials on shorts as well as other Docker items. Long story short, we went there for her to shop, and I ended up spending about $600. I felt I received good value for the dollars spent, so I did not feel bad about parting with the cash. We will return.

Pros: Good parking, Good Variety, (Some) Great Values
