Services Provided by Amtrak at CML Station
Service at Camarillo Station is limited to what a platform can provide: boarding and alighting, plus a parking lot of about 406 spaces. Metrolink Ventura County Line trains also call here, with six trains on weekdays and four at weekends, so the platform serves commuters as well as intercity passengers. Because no agent works at the station, passengers who need boarding assistance arrange it with Amtrak before the journey rather than on the day.

Baggage & Luggage Rules
Camarillo Station (CML) does not handle checked baggage, since checked bag service requires staff and a baggage facility. Passengers therefore carry their own luggage onto the train and stow it in the car. Oversized items such as bicycles depend on the individual Pacific Surfliner train’s onboard provision rather than on anything the station can hold.
Food, Lounges & Restrooms
No food service, lounge or station restroom operates at the Camarillo platform. Passengers use facilities in the surrounding commercial area before boarding, because the platform itself offers no shelter. The absence of a building is also why the stop has no published waiting room hours.

Hotels Near Camarillo Amtrak Station

Camarillo Amtrak Station is a Pacific Surfliner stop in its simplest form: a platform, a parking lot and ten trains a day, shared with the Metrolink Ventura County Line.
