It’s Game Time!

If you’re planning on attending the Big Game on Feb. 13, stay here with us in Ventura County Coast, which includes Camarillo, Oxnard, Ventura and Port Hueneme. We might be a collection of beach towns situated 60 miles north of SoFi Stadium, but our football credentials are pretty legit—We have previously hosted the Las Vegas Raiders, Los Angeles Rams, New Orleans Saints, and Miami Dolphins and are the current home for the Dallas Cowboys training camp, where the team gets ready for the regular season every summer.
