RV campgrounds with water parks let your family spend the day on slides, lazy rivers and splash pads, then walk back to your own recreational vehicle (RV) for lunch or a nap. At most of them, water park access comes with your campsite, so there are no separate tickets. Below are ten campgrounds in nine states with water parks, pools or splash parks, each checked on its official website, plus tips for booking and packing. Use the state filter to find one near you.

Good to know: The water park has a shorter season and hours than the rest of the campground. Check the current schedule before you go.
Warrens, Wisconsin
A large family camp-resort whose water zone includes a wave pool, a lazy river and a splash ground, plus a six-lane waterslide, a floating obstacle course and a swimming pool. The park’s own answers to common questions say your camping fee covers access to the pools.

| Minimum stay | Many family campgrounds require 2 or 3 nights on summer weekends and holidays. |
| Pets | Pets are usually not allowed in water park areas. Plan who stays with them, or look for a campground with a dog park. Our pet-friendly RV campground finder can help. |
