Originally it was intended to turn Camarillo into a prison, but community opposition in part and interest from the Cal State Universities led to its conversion into a university- California State University, Channel Islands (CSUCI). CSUCI had its first classes in fall 2002, four years ahead of the original schedule. Most of the buildings of Camarillo have been preserved and revitalized, including all the original 1930s mission-style buildings. The university is Ventura County's first public university and is quickly becoming a destination university. It had 2,300 students in 2006, but is expected to grow to 15,000 by 2025.

In 1976, a nurse under the name of Nadine Scolla published a diary she had kept while working in Camarillo State Hospital, this set of a chain of events leading to investigations related to the allegations of abuse from the book. The book titled "Keeper of the Keys", told of gold fillings pulled out of new patients' mouths and other acts of abuse or by the staff who were often aware and desensitized to the issues going on inside. Due to the nature of the novel, the book was barred from publishing several times and the author was later found dead in her after a home invasion all of this was later detailed in newer editions of the book.
