Camino Real Park

I love this dog park. This may be the only dog park I take my Dalmatian to after having a horrible experience at Springville dog park with an incompetent owner of a brown Pitt named Teddy.
My dog is a shy dog and because of this we make sure that any interaction he has with other dogs is only positive. Every time we come here there’s nothing but friendly dogs with good doggy manners who give my dog space until he feels confident enough to approach and befriend them. I recommend this park to any responsible dog owner who wants their dog to have fun at the dog park.

My dogs love the doggie park so much. It’s big and spacious and I love how much it reminds me of being out in the woods. My bloodhound will walk around smelling the trees and always explores the whole section. Everyone I’ve encountered has been super nice and a responsible dog owner. Even though there is a section for small dogs, I hardly see anyone use it. All the regulars and their small dogs go into the big section. It’s my favorite dog park around where I feel confident enough that my dogs will be completely fine.

This review is for the dog park ONLY:
Great park to bring your dogs to when you’re favorite dog park is unfortunately closed for renovations. Even though this dog park is closer to me, I don’t frequent this dog park due to the fact that basically the entire dog park consist of bark. Bark that makes your dogs feet smell terrible when they get home and also hurts them when they run too hard. My weimaraner loves to run and run fast. After being at this park for 15 minutes, she was walking uncomfortably. I then took her out to the lush grass area and had her walk there before I took her home. This park is so beautiful to walk around… unfortunately they did not seem to think the dogs would also enjoy grass. I honestly think they did this because bark is much easier to maintain than grass. Also, if you have a small dog just know that the small dog area is a joke, it is so tiny and also filled with bark.

Review for the dog park
After 2.5 years of adopting our pup, my husband and I finally decided to take him to the dog part for the first time. I was probably more anxious than he was! The park had two division — large dogs and small dogs but it appears that everyone and their dog just ends up in the large dog part. I asked some nice dog owners inside whether I should just go for it off leash and all and they said yes! So there I go, off leash and all and off he went! A bit awkward like a HS student but ultimately, he eased in and enjoyed himself. I am so glad I took him. Park was big and clean and many friendly dogs of all size and shape. Friendly owners. It was great chatting it up as I watch my dog frolicking away! Planning to go twice a month on Sundays as that appears to be a good time frame.

A great multipurpose park. I frequent the park mainly because it has a nice sized dog park. I wish it had some grass, but still, the dogs love it. The rest of the park is large, has multiple baseball fields, tennis courts and bbq pits. It’s a great park for family outings or even for a cheap date

great park for little ones! played catch w/​my 8-​year old and running after the ball with my almost 2-​year old. we brought a picnic lunch, ran on the grass, played in two of the playground equipment areas, used the restroom. just a few other people around with kids, with dogs, taking a walk. lovely, leisurely, clean park.

Worst dog park. It’s only dirt and debris. The small dog section (for 20 lbs or less) is so tiny. I have 2 small dogs, 10 lbs each, and they have so much energy. They need to run! There is more than enough room to expand that area. And a little grass sure would be nice. I shouldn’t have to give my dog a bath just from going to the park one time. The rest of the park is well maintained. A shame Parks and Recreation doesn’t care about the dog park. It really shows.

Been meaning to write this review for awhile. My friends and our little ones love this park. It’s tucked away so it’s never too crowded, great for walks and has enough going on that everyone can stay entertained with our play groups. Never had an issue with trash or bums.

This is one of the best parks I have ever been to! It has it all: scenic paths for walking, two quality playgrounds, soccer and baseball fields (they are largely unused during weekdays), tennis courts, a large dog park and even picnic benches. I love going to this park with friends and walking my dog. It is a great place for families to visit too and there is many shady areas from the great trees in the area.

I love this park. It seems well maintained and safe. The dog park is okay, would prefer grass rather than wood chips.
At times there are groups of sketchy looking men. They have never approached me but I do not appreciate their fowl la gauge around children. They litter beer bottles as well. Keep an eye out.
Other than that– wonderful walking path (paved) and great baseball fields and tennis courts. My favorite park in town! The trees are gorgeous!

It is a nice clean park hidden away off of Dean Drive. Follow the signs and look for the entrance set back off the road. Tennis courts, baseball fields, and shady grassy areas abound. There is a fenced dog park also. The downside is the park backs onto Hwy 126 so the traffic noise level is high. On a late afternoon, the place was fairly empty except some walkers and dog people, making it it a pleasant place for a stroll under the sycamores.

I used to live near this park, so I know much about it.
PROS – It’s a big park for one in the middle of the city. It has a nice path for jogging or walking. There are 3 areas for kids to play if one gets crowded. Several softball and baseball diamonds. There is a big grassy area for soccer and football when the baseball fields are not in use. There is one basketball and one volleyball court. There are usually enough benches and grills for parties, and there are two very large areas for larger gatherings and big grills. Although, those areas cost nearly $ 350 to reserve. BUT, if they are not reserved, you may use them for free on a first-​come-​first-​serve basis. There are plenty of tennis courts, although there are many classes and people who go there.
CONS – The basketball court is small and not lit. There should be lights for the court, like the tennis courts. The rims get bent, and the nets get torn. Fix them. The snack bar is rarely open, even on weekends. Bathrooms are hit and miss, some are very filthy. There are sometimes issues with transients and knuckleheads who just sit on the benches and drink beer (which is not allowed w/​out a permit). The dog park is a terrible addition. It stinks up the park, and not needed. It’s for yuppies who are too lazy to walk their dogs.
It is a park that I will continue to go to, as I enjoy it very much as well as my children. As always, get here VERY early on holidays if you want to reserve a spot. Also, get here early on days there is a tournament too, as it gets very crowded.

Nice park with 3 playgrounds, tennis courts, big field for soccer and softball. The purple jacaranda trees are beautiful when they’re in bloom.

Came from out of town with our three Whippets. We stop all the time at various dog parks as we travel and this park was a winner. Very clean, nice wood chips that kept the dogs feet clean as can be, even though we arrived about an hour after a decent rain storm. The ‘boys’ had a very nice time at this park. Finding it isn’t easy. Drive into the park and then keep going as far towards the back as you can to find the dog park. Or just let the pups walk the lovely fields (baseball/​soccer) and go towards the back of the park.

Nice, large park. There wasn’t many people there at 11 am on a Sunday morning, which is very unusual for Ventura County .
I would have given it 5 stars except. ‘all’ the trash cans were overflowing.
The trash had to be there from the day before since the park was so empty.

Took a trip out from L.A. this past weekend. This was the only off-​leash dog park I could find. It’s way off in the back so I almost didn’t find it at all. Was pleasantly surprised and how HUGE it was. There is a little fenced in section off to the side for small dogs but it is so small and pathetic that I didn’t even see it for the first 15 minutes we were there. I have 2 teeny, tiny dogs but I just let them have run of the big area. The park is kept up very well and is massive. We all had a great time there. Wish we had one that nice closer to home.

This park is great for kids. It has 3 play areas all a decent walk apart. We start out at the one nearest the entrance and parking, by the time we have walked around it’s time for lunch and naps. Also has nice softball fields and a dog park.

Love all the 1000’s of monarchs wintering in the eucalyptis, dog loves the free tennis balls…

Awesome facility, wish I lived closer to it to use more often.
Big shade trees, robust and big dog park fit for sprinters and fetchers. Bring a lawn chair if you plan on being there awhile as the benches are limited within the fenced dog park itself. The small dog area is really just a run, kinda long but narrow, but I guess little dogs don’t really need a ton of room. My husky loves it, gets all pumped when I turn into the parking lot.
Be aware on the weekends there’s a lot of baseball/​softball going on, which may make parking limited, but I’ve never left that place thinking I had a bad experience.

Where can you walk your dog, grill some burgers, play some disc golf, rent a bounce-​house, go for a jog, play beach volleyball, get a game of softball going, pee in a public restroom, AND check out a bunch of classic g-​rides in the parking lot?
Camino Real Park, that’s where!
This place totally rules. Less than a mile from my house and I never even knew it existed until my friend coerced me into going the other day. I thought we were going to take a leisurely stroll around a smallish park with her dog Herman but oh, no! No, no no. She was under the impression we were going to be power-​walking and was not pleased when I showed up in jeans and flip-​flops.
Since I wasn’t all spandex and Rebokked out, we settled for a quick walk around the park and an hour of chillaxin in the enclosed dog park where you can let your little guy or gal off the leash and watch them frolick (read: smell each other’s butts).
There was so much stuff going on around us! Parties a plenty, baseball, bounce-​houses… There’s something for everyone at Camino Real. I’ll be back soon (tomorrow morning, actually) and this time I’ll bring my A-​game (read: spandex pants and some real shoes).
