Traveling to Port Hueneme by RV

Highway 101 provides the primary access route to Port Hueneme, with most RVers exiting at Ventura Road (Highway 232) for a straight shot south to the coast. This four-lane route handles big rigs easily, though you'll encounter several traffic signals through Oxnard's commercial districts. From the north, the coastal route along Highway 1 offers stunning ocean views but includes some tight curves and steep grades between Ventura and Oxnard that larger motorhomes should approach cautiously.

The Walmart Supercenter on Oxnard Boulevard handles most motorhome supply needs, while several marine supply stores around Channel Islands Harbor carry specialized gear for fishing and boating activities.
