Reservations are available but book early, especially for the waterfront back-in sites that face San Diego Bay. Fiddlers Cove RV Park sits on Naval Amphibious Base Coronado and requires a valid military ID for entry, which means access is limited to active duty, veterans, and eligible dependents. The park has 56 full-hookup spaces with 30 and 50 amp electric, water, and sewer connections, plus two tent sites. Concrete pads surrounded by gravel keep things tidy underfoot, and the waterfront spaces include fire pits positioned directly on the bay.
Cleanliness comes up repeatedly across reviews, and the sites themselves are consistently described as wide and level. The staff earns good marks for being helpful and knowledgeable. One thing to plan around: Erin S. notes campers should "expect to hear helicopters on patrol at all hours," given the active military base next door. The WiFi signal is present but weakens noticeably in the evenings when more campers are online. Cell service, however, is reported as reliable.
The park connects directly to a marina, and a boat house on site rents kayaks, paddle boards, and other watercraft. A small camp store and on-site laundry round out the facilities. The campground also sits adjacent to a bike path that runs into Coronado proper. Silver Strand State Beach Campground is about a mile south, offering public access for campers who don't qualify for the military facility.
Calling the campground directly is the more reliable booking method. Reviews note the concierge reservation service can add friction to the process. The waterfront sites cost a few dollars more per night and tend to fill first, so those should be targeted well in advance. Guests are no longer permitted on-site, which has changed the dynamic for some long-time visitors with families. The park operates year-round. For campsites near Coronado that don't require military credentials, Silver Strand Beach State Park Campground is a nearby alternative worth considering.
