Cameron Run Regional Park

About

Park with a wave pool, batting cages, mini-golf, picnic shelters, and fishing.

The main swimming pool at the Great Waves Waterpark within Cameron Run Regional Park is heated. While specific temperatures can vary, it is generally maintained at a comfortable temperature for recreational swimming during its operational season.

What are people saying (AI review summary)? Cameron Run Regional Park offers a variety of experiences, including a popular 'Lights' event and a water park. The Lights event is praised for its colorful displays, self-paced nature, and photo opportunities, though some reviewers suggest the experience is most worthwhile when combined with the ice skating (which is an additional cost and includes skate rentals). Hot beverages and snacks are available for purchase, with a caution about very hot chocolate. The water park is described as suitable for escaping the heat and ideal for elementary-aged children and younger, though adults can also have fun, making it a good option for company outings. General feedback highlights 'tons of fun,' great food, and good service. However, a significant drawback noted is the issue of outdated operating hours online (e.g., Google), leading to visitor inconvenience, and difficulty reaching staff by phone. Visitors are advised to purchase tickets in advance and dress warmly for the Lights event.

Lights at Cameron Run Regional Park is truly an incredible experience. Within the confines of the Wave Pool are areas with gorgeous, colorful lights. I would advise to purchase your tickets ahead of time to save a few minutes waiting in line. They have hot chocolate, doughnut holes and cookies for sale. The hot chocolate is hot as FIRE, so beware if you have small kids. The event itself is self paced and there is ice skating available for additional price above the entrance ticket price. Please dress warm, and enjoy!

My husband and I love taking our grandson here. Tones of fun and the hours fly by. The food is great as well as the service.

Great location they sell food which is great. My son enjoys it here only reason I give 4 starts is because there hours are not updated I drove 30 minutes one time to come, it said they opened at 5 PM. I arrived at 5:30 and they closed at seven. I then said something to a worker and they told me that they're opening hours are 11 AM. I went off of what Google said. I even tried calling before I arrived, but there's no way to talk to anyone

My job held a fun day here. Many of us didn't know there was a water park in the DMV city area. It's not a huge park, but it's large enough to escape the heat. The slides are okay. We did then to get wet...the orange side gave us a welcome surprise. 😀 It is geared towards elementary aged and younger, but as an adult, I was able to have a good time. Not my first choice, but i if we do another fun day...I will be there. I can see business growing with the close of Six Flags over Largo.

This was an amazing event! Honestly it’s really only worth it if you go ice skating. The lights it’s self takes maybe 10 min to walk through we walked through them twice. Tons of photo opportunities. There’s a shop for kids to get light up toys as well. The skating was a ton of fun especially at night around the lights. Tickets include skate rentals. It is real ice. Was not crowded at all when we went. If you’re not good at skating no problem they have little walkers to push around and little kids can sit and ride them. Staff is very friendly and they watch over the ice for people who fall. I brought my 6 and 9 year old we had a great time
