During the warmer months, stick to mowed paths and check for ticks after exploring the wilder, grassy areas. The park's seasonal schedule varies, so check ahead to plan your visit during operating months.

Planning Tips

About Harrington Beach State Park

Nestled along Lake Michigan's shoreline, Harrington Beach State Park's campground welcomes you to 715 acres where sandy beaches meet tranquil wetlands and shaded forests. Campers love the spacious, private sites and spotless facilities, all just off the highway yet worlds away from the everyday hustle.

Campground includes electric sites and non-electric walk-in sites; visitor reports emphasize large, relatively private sites and distinct differences between walk-in/non-electric and electric/open sites.

Natural Features and SceneryMore than a mile of Lake Michigan beach stretches before you, where sandy shores give way to smooth pebbles worn by endless waves. Venture inland and you'll discover the jewel of the park: a crystal-clear, spring-fed Quarry Lake cradled by forest and native grasses. White cedar groves and hardwood swamps blend seamlessly with restored prairies and meadows, creating a patchwork of habitats that birders dream about. Whether you're strolling the shoreline at sunset or exploring the network of trails through varied terrain, every turn reveals a new landscape to explore.
