Harrington Beach State Park has a family campground, with five walk-in sites, a group campsite and a kayak site.

Family campground

The park has a 69-unit family campground, including 31 sites with electrical hookups, 33 non-electrical sites and five walk-in sites. Each campsite has a campfire ring and a picnic table.

Wisconsin State Parks currently have nine cabins for people with disabilities. There are two rustic cabins and seven with more amenities.

These cabins are available only to those with disabilities preventing them from enjoying the State Park camping experience at a normal camping site.

The need for these cabins is overwhelming.
