Conejo Mountain is a 1,814 feet high mountain in Camarillo, CA. It is located by the Newbury Park border and may be reached from trails leading for instance from Pepper Tree Playfield and Dos Vientos Community Park via Dos Vientos Open Space in southwestern Newbury Park. Mining operations have been ongoing here since 1959 and most of the mountain is owned by the Pacific Rock mining operation. The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy, Pleasant Valley Recreation and Park District and Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency have interest in administrating the area as protected open-space.
The term is sometimes implied for the Conejo Mountain Range (the Conejo Hills or Conejo Mountains), which makes up the eastern, northern, and southeastern ridges along the Conejo Valley (the Santa Monica Mountains make up the valley’s southern edges).
