I would go on vacation when I have time.

In Vacation

'In vacation' does not exist and must be avoided. Instead, use the phrase 'on vacation*' when talking about holidays. Have a look:

During

You can also use 'during' to talk about time spent on a vacation instead of 'on vacation.' When we use 'during,' we refer to an event that occurred while the vacation was ongoing and before it finished. Have a look:
