History
The history of Harrington Beach goes back thousands of years ago when there was a prehistoric economy, yet there hasn't been any reports or signs of archeological sites being founded. There has been suggestions that there might be sites possibly still in existence within the park.
A campground of 73 sites opened in 2009; it was the first new campground at a Wisconsin State Park in over 20 years.[1] Construction began in 2008 and it was completed in the beginning of September 2009.[1] It opened with 32 election sites, 33 non-electric sites, 5 walk-in sites, one kayak site (only accessible by water), one group campsite, and one site for the campground host.[1] Before the campground was added, the park had up to 120,000 visitors per year.[1]
