AIR ARRIVAL
The closest airports to NBVC are Los Angeles
International Airport (LAX), which is about one
and a half hours south of the bases, or the Oxnard
Airport, which is less than a 30-minute drive north.
LAX has only one shuttle bus service (Roadrunner
Shuttle) to Ventura County, but no shuttles go to the
bases. The LAX shuttle cost is about $50.
Oxnard Airport does not offer any shuttle service
to the bases. Because taxi services can be
costly, it is best to make prior arrangements for
your sponsor to meet you at Oxnard or LAX.
TRAIN AND BUS ARRIVAL
An AMTRAK Train Station is located in downtown
Oxnard, approximately 15 miles from
NBVC.Also, a Greyhound Bus Station is located at
the AMTRAK Station. There is no shuttle to the
bases, and taxis are expensive. Be aware that the
train station is not an area to walk around in at
night. Therefore, arrangements should be made
with your command and/or your sponsor to meet
you upon arrival.
CAR ARRIVAL
The NBVC Point Mugu site is located on Highway
1 (Pacific Coast Highway) between the Las
Posas Road and Wood Road exits. If you are arriving
on Highway 101 (Ventura Freeway) from the
north or south, take the Las Posas Road exit and go
south. Continue on Las Posas through stop signs
and stop lights at the following intersections:
Pleasant Valley, 5th Street and Hueneme Road. Las
Posas crosses over Highway 1 (Pacific Coast Highway)
and dead-ends into the Los Posas Road gate.
During working hours (see Gate Hours below), the
gate guard can provide directions to Security or to
Building 1. After working hours, cross over Highway
1 and make a right-hand turn onto a frontage
road, before you get to the gate. The frontage road
will take you to Security (halfway between the Los
Posas Gate and the Main Gate). If the Security
Office is closed, continue on the frontage road until
you reach the stop sign which is the Main Gate.
Turn left to reach the gate guard.
The NBVC Port Hueneme site is located at the
corner of Ventura Road and Pleasant Valley Road.
Take Highway 101 and take the Las Posas exit,
cross over the freeway (westbound) to Pleasant
Valley Road (through the fields and toward the
ocean) all the way to the Pleasant Valley Gate at
Port Hueneme. If you take Highway 1, go pass the
NBVC Point Mugu site and take the Pleasant Valley exit; cross over Highway 1 and continue on to the
