Do you have a country in mind? I'm in the same boat with 4 between 10-15 needing entertaining without remortgaging 🤣

Center Parcs?

Lalandia in Denmark?

Duinrell in the Netherlands is fantastic for teens. A lot of Eurocamp sites will also have teen clubs.

Centerparcs dekampervannan. Eindhoven. There is a ski slope. Biking. Swimming. Touring about the town on bikes. Day trip to amsterdam.

We still went when the kids were too old for clubs. They’re reasonably priced and we’d just use them as a base, and go out during the day or just use the pools, then go out to eat in the evening or to explore a local town/village.

You can still go to Eurocamp plenary have water parks within walking distance or
have
their
own
decent
slide complexes.

Try capfun - it's like Hoseasons for France, Belgium and a couple of others I can't quite remember.

Except they're much better than the British ones! Much better pools, waterslides and instead of caravans you get nice units with a veranda. If you pick the weeks that the locals have gone back to school but the UK hasn't then you can get a bargain! We use them as bases to explore the region.

I'd think a Eurocamp with lake access for paddle boarding and kayak etc, and maybe bike hire that kind of thing.
Mine are 12 and 14 and I'm looking at Sudsee Camp in Germany.
We loved De Twee Bruggen in the Netherlands last summer... We would definitely return.
Like @Notreallyme27 said it's a base from which to explore so onsite stuff is generally a bonus not the be all and end all so loop at what's in the area too.
We will always Eurocamp (or similar) I think!

We went to an apt in scily with a pool and went two days to a theme and water park tbis year.. We did bodyrafting and went on a boat trip . My 17 yr old loved the body rafting .we always end up in a shopping centre abroad too so had a brilliant afternoon shopping. My 17 yr old DD loved the mountain villages of Taormina. So beautiful. She just loves browsing in little shops. So a nice mix. My 14 yr old just loved the water park so thats what prompted this query.they both loved it in fact

We’re going back this year after a few years break. Have 21, 17 and 15 yo. Staying at a riverside one and using it a base for other activities.

I love being able to have lazy evenings playing games and having BBQs - plus my kids will happily lie by a pool anywhere.

I had my first snog as a teenager on a eurocamp site (hello Lucca from Genoa if you’re out there) and my first alcohol. Not sure if that’s a good thing but in my experience eurocamp gave me a lot as a teen.
