Harrington Beach State Park has more than a mile of beach along Lake Michigan. This 715-acre park also features a white cedar and hardwood swamp, old field grasslands with restored wetland ponds and a scenic limestone quarry lake. Camp, sunbathe, picnic, hike, bird watch, fish or practice astronomy at one of the observatory's monthly public viewings.
Harrington Beach State Park has a family campground, with five walk-in sites, a group campsite, an accessible cabin for people with disabilities and a kayak site.
The park has a 69-unit family campground, including 31 sites with electrical hookups. Each campsite has a campfire ring and a picnic table.
Harrington Beach is about 35 miles north of Milwaukee and 21 miles south of Sheboygan, Wisconsin, via Interstate Highway 43. From I-43, take exit 107 (Belgium/Lake Church) and go east on County Highway D about 1 mile. The park entrance will be on your right.
The park has a 69-unit family campground, including 31 sites with electrical hookups. Each campsite has a campfire ring and a picnic table.
The group campsite is a non-electric, reservable site for up to 30 visitors. The campsite has two campfire rings and five picnic tables. The site is a tent-only site, but one wheeled camping unit can set up in the parking lot. The parking lot has the capacity to hold 14 vehicles. Pets are allowed.
An accessible cabin for people with disabilities is available at Harrington Beach State Park. The cabin has kitchen counters that allow wheelchairs to roll under them, a bathroom with a roll-in shower, family and dining areas, and a bedroom large enough for wheelchairs and attendants to move about. The campers sleep on hospital-style beds with Hoyer lifts nearby if they are needed. Additional sleeping space for family members is also provided on a pull-out bed in the living room and on cots on the screened porch.
This is a beautiful park for day use. Plenty of hiking trails and nice walks on the beach. Water was a little murky today but all in all a great experience, especially with the hike around quarry lake. I personally would not use this parks campground hence the 4 stars. Lots of thick brush rather than tall trees so not a whole lot of shade. Still, I had a great experience!
Stayed at a walk-in site over the weekend and had an excellent time enjoying the beautiful midwestern prarie and woodland trails that the park had to offer! Bathrooms and showers were always in good condition-with noticeable cleanings and soap refills etc. Saw endless rabbits, a few deers, and a couple of unassuming toads. The walk to Lake Michigan from the walk-in sites is a solid 30 minutes-but walking around the lovely Quarry Lake and through the forest made for a great nature walk.
Pretty awesome hiking trail. It’s about 5 miles if you do the whole thing. Use “AllTrails” app to get the map on your phone. It would be extremely difficult to navigate without it. I’m 100% sure we would’ve gotten lost or ended up repeating sections and/or skipping other sections.
The trails are very well kept, I like that you can stay on the path or wander off either on the beach or hike deeper into the forest. The restrooms are nice, I wish they had lights in them they are dark but Convenient. The scenery is very beautiful, A lot of raspberry bushes along the path, which ended up being a nice snack. I've been here a few times now and enjoy it every time. I suggest if you like hiking too visit it.
