The parks are dotted across the country, from Scotland and Yorkshire to Wales and Suffolk.
Here's our pick of the best-rated holiday parks with waterparks and the best deals to get you there:
1. Seashore, Great Yarmouth
The Seashore holiday park is part of Haven's holiday portfolio and is just by Norfolk's beach. It is known for its 'excellent' amenities.
The one indoor pool area offers a range of water activities, from casual splashing to serious swimming sessions.
A smaller pool is also available for younger kids to play in.
The real fun is at 'The Shore' waterpark, though — with two 11-meter-high tyre flumes towering over the entire area, Tidal Twist and Coastal Cyclone.
You can even capture the action on your way down Coastal Cyclone with the onsite 'Activity Cam' for extra fun.
There is also a giant tipping bucket, an aqua play area and a training place for kayaking excursions.

2. Craig Tara, Scotland
The Splashaway Bay at Craig Tara is Scotland's biggest indoor waterpark, and it features two water flumes, a giant tipping bucket, a tots' pool and water features.
One of the flumes has neon lights and three crystal-clear sections, so you can wave to your family while travelling down.
But it doesn't end there. The other interactive flume allows you to time your ride and try to beat the fastest time of the day.
Although some activities are included, you could also add others for an additional cost.
The Haven's holiday park also features an adventure village, crazy golf and a NERF training camp - described as a mixture of paintball and basketball.
There are even roller discos, slime-creation workshops and baby sensory rooms.

To make it even better, there's also a Lakehouse indoor pool with a waterslide for when the weather isn't good.
Primrose Valley is also set to open the first-ever Wetherspoons this spring.
