Fiddler’s Cove RV Park & Marina

While this RV park is certainly one of the most beautiful locations you could ever find, the real beauty is in the dedicated, professional management of the park by Jill and the staff at Fiddler’s Cove. Without exception, every member of the staff strives to provide the best service possible to each and every guest. They always greet me by name, with a smile and try their best to accommodate my every request. The other military RV parks need to send a representative to Fiddler’s Cove and take notes! Thank you for providing a fantastic experience on every visit!!!

I love coming here! It is a fabulous beach area with inexpensive water recreation equipment for military use only. They gave us relatively unlimited access to the bay and the water. It was so much fun! We rented a double kayak and just kayaked around together, looking at ships, going as far into the center of the bay as we dared, and enjoying our interactions with the wildlife, including pelicans, Seagulls, and jellyfish! Definitely want to do this again!

Fiddlers Cove and Marina is for DOD and Military personnel only…
Unfortunately you have to be a part of the Department of Defense to utilize the use of this marina, RV campsites along the water, sail boats, kayak, paddle board, canoe rentals and sailing lessons.
This is a great location that I have utilized for kayaks and paddle boarding, the rates are great as well, If my memory serves me correct…(getting old, Hahahha it was only this weekend) around 9 $ an hour for paddle boards, and 12 $ an hour for kayaks…
Just go inside the large open garage like door, place your rental with the friendly attendant, (show your DOD ID) grab your life vests, ores, and seats… And head to the water… The paddle boards rack is outside and the kayaks are on the racks by the sand.
The bathrooms are clean, showers, with hot and cold water. Dressing areas as well.
There are nice grassy areas with wooden tables throughout. So bring a cooler, a bbq, towels and have fun. And if you forgot to bring a cooler, there is like a snack shack where you can pick yourself up a couple cold ones ;) and you know… All that and a bag a chips.
The marina is a calm water location for all ages to fare the sea… And the cove is a good location for swimming as well. On a windy day though, the current can be strong battle to fight on your way back.

If you love RVing, and you are military, this is a great resort for you! Skip Silver Strand and come to Fiddler’s Cove.
We have spent a weekend in April and 4^th of July week here. The park is not heavily landscaped but it is brand new and the facilities are pristine. There are bathrooms, showers, outdoor rinse-​off showers, laundry and general store at the marina area. Spacious sites, some bayfront views.
The park has easy access to the Silver Strand for bicycling, running, etc. Quick 15-​minute bike ride to town. Kids can bring fishing poles and fish off the shore.
The marina has affordable rentals, and you can sign up for sailing lessons. We have rented SUP boards which are easy and fun!
We love Fiddler’s Cove and will definitely be back!

So up front, im a young full timer, so not that Internet is a must but its a big plus. Overall if you are on vacation, this might be the place for you.
Pros:
great view, even from the back spaces
Bathrooms were really clean compared to other parks
large spaces
Can have more than one car in your space, plus free parking by bathrooms
rental gear– went paddle boarding, great views, great price!
nice area to go for walks with your dog.
Nice little dog park about .5 miles away.
Convenience store with all necessary items.
Security gate.
Cons:
Their Internet was the worst ever, they should not even have it. So you have to sign up with time warner (AKA…the devil) and you can only hook up 1 device, which you can only maybe… maybe check email. Wanna use facebook, or google search something… takes for ever to load. I mean I grew up with dial up and this internet was slow!!! Oh and if you want to use more than one device, prepare to break out the wallet to give to time warner more money (again AKA… the Devil!). Then if you want faster internet you have to pay more to time warner (did I mention they are the devil?).
Traffic can be bad with the bases in the morning and quitting time, roughly 3pm.
the location is out there out there and not much to walk to. I work by the airport and it was a 45 minute commute to go 7 miles.
Next to the beach… But you cant go to it. Its off limits due to the military training. I wanted to hit up some surfing while I was there, but couldn’t because the whole strip down to the state park is shut off.
Coronado is expensive, at least the military base prices are good for gas, groceries, and necessities.
So even though this place is decent, they hype up the fact they are right next to the beach even though you cannot use it. Was very disappointed, and it is way out there. It took me 45 minutes just to get through lower silver strand where the amphib base was, through Coronado, over the bridge and past downtown to the airport. 7 miles to work. If you are on vacation this is a really good place to be close to the city, but still be away from it all.

This place is AWESOME! Super clean… Dog friendly… And secure with coded gates! The view is breathtaking as well! The only draw back is that it’s a little far out of the way it seems. But who cares?! GREAT location!

Location, Location, Location! On the water in Coronado ;D. Simply beautiful and can’t beat the price. Not sure what more I can share…

This place is awesome. You can learn to sail, go paddle boarding, look at sting rays, go fishing, have a picnic, camp, and drink on the beach next to the ocean (a rarity in these parts). I HIGHLY recommend people come and utilize this awesome resource reserved for military personnel and their dependants.

This is our second stay here and we LOVE it. Sites are brand new and spacious. Beautiful Coronado is close by with lots activities and unique restaurants. The Village Theater is really nice for a good old fashioned night at the movies. Clayton’s is a GREAT place to eat. Coronado Ferry Landing is a fun place to go. Seaport Village is just across the bridge. I can’t say enough about this place.

I go here on the weekends. My aunt has a boat here. Store has great prices and is open 8am to 6pm.
Bathrooms are generally pretty birth, not the best.
Bonfire pit, so you can have afire whenever you want
Also huge BBQ grill area as well.

Fiddler’s Cove is a marina in Coronado for Retired, Active, and Reserve service members. In my opinion it is one of the nicest marinas in San Diego County and has very low slip fees.

Ahoy! Good ‘Olé Fiddler’s Cove! My parents keep their sailboat boat here at Fiddler’s Cove. It’s a great marina for military families into boating.
Mostly retired Navy folk with boats here but really nice folks. By far the most affordable of slips available in San Diego, so if you are in the military and have a boat, consider seeing if they have space available, most places like the Marriot are not only expensive but have a waiting list.
There’s a boat launching ramp if you don’t have a sailboat and want to take out jet skis etc.
Cool and quiet, we generally come here to hang out with the parents and picnic. There are quite a few picnic tables along with a fire pit. Best if you are here with someone who is a member of the park. Really helpful staff, awesome place to relax/​picnic if you want to stay away from the beach. There’s plenty of grass to sit on. There are bathrooms equipped with showers that are well maintained an safe after hours. I’ve stayed on my parents boat here over night and never felt safer.
You are welcome to have your dog as long as it’s on it’s leash inside the marina area. But there’s even a little dog park just past the parking lot as you walk in so your pooch can run around off leash.
It’s a little tricky to get to because it’s right off the 75– way after the Hotel Del but before the Loews, so it’s an easy turn to miss coming from either IB or Coronado.
