1. Do all rentals require a permit?

No, a permit is not required for an outdoor reservation if your group size is under 25 people,  if no alcohol will be present and if you will not have any vendors.  In this case, if the picnic shelter you desire is not reserved on that date, you are welcome to use it on a first-come, first-served basis. 

2. Do all rentals require insurance?

A Certificate of Liability Insurance with a separate endorsement naming the District as additional insured is required for all special events and outdoor picnic area rentals which will be serving alcohol. Please view the Insurance Requirements for more information. 

3. What is considered a special event?

Attendance of 300+ and event is open to the public. Refer to Ordinances and General Use Policy for more information.

4.  How much does it cost to reserve a picnic area?

Fees can be found within our Rental Brochures and on our Master Fee Schedule. Non-Camarillo residents pay 25% more per hour. The minimum rental period for picnic areas is 6 hours.  Set up and clean up times need to be included in your reservation request.

5.  How can I find out if a picnic area is available for the date I want? 

You can view the Check Availability Calendar for Picnic Areas, or you may also call 805.482.1996 x 101, 102 or 103 to speak with a customer service representative regarding park availability.

6. Can I have music, a performer (clown, magician, etc.), catered food, jump/bounce house, or a DJ at my picnic or party?

All of the vendors above are permitted at certain parks, so long as the vendor’s insurance certificate and separate endorsement page are provided prior to the event date. There is a $50 Vendor Fee per vendor per rental date that will be applied. You would need to utililize one of the Jump Vendors from the pre-approved list on our website if interested in a jump vendor.

7.  What should I do if there looks to be rain/wind etc. on my reservation date?

The reservation may be transferred to an available facility on another date within 6 months.  No refunds are issued for inclement weather (rain, poor air quality, wind, etc.).

8. How do I make payment for a reservation?

Once a reservation contract has been created, you will need to go into your Amilia account and e-sign your contract and view the invoice to make a payment. If you have difficulties with your online account, you can contact support@amilia.com or call a Customer Service Representative at 805-482-1996, ext. 101, 102 or 103 for assistance.

9. How long does it take to receive the refundable cleaning deposit back?

If you left the facility clean with no damage or excessive trash, you should receive your refundable cleaning deposit back approximately 2-3 weeks after your reservation date. If you paid by cash or check rather than a credit card, your deposit may take a week or two longer to process.
