Harrington Hideaway RV Park

Harrington Hideaway RV Park is located in a rural agricultural community in Washington. Open year-round, the park offers daily, weekly, and monthly rates, catering to a variety of people. With 15 RV sites, including two pull-through options, the park provides water, sewer, and power hookups to ensure a comfortable stay. According to Tim, the owner,  the standout feature of the park is its grass, creating a "welcoming and cozy atmosphere" for campers. He also explains the park is known for attracting older retired couples and families as its main demographic, and it receives a significant number of repeat guests. Nearby attractions include several lakes, hunting opportunities, and country backroads. Patrons can also take advantage of the partnership with the adjacent Harrington Golf and Country Club, which offers a two-for-one golf coupon for park visitors. 

About

Harrington Hideaway RV Park is a rural campground located in an agricultural community surrounded by wheat fields. The RV park occupies 2 acres of land and features 15 RV sites, all providing water, sewer, and power hookups. Two of the sites are pull-through, with the remaining sites being back-in. The staff aims to space the sites out to provide a bit more room between each site.

In addition to the RV sites, Harrington Hideaway offers open grassy areas for tent camping. While not designated campsites, these areas provide a space for people who prefer pitching a tent over staying in an RV. The park also provides restrooms, showers, and laundry facilities. Most RVs are self-contained, but larger campground-style showers are available for those who prefer them.

Amenities at the RV park include a few picnic tables that can be used by guests, although Tim, one of the owners, says many visitors bring their own equipment. Additionally, there are horseshoe pits, bocce ball, and croquet sets available for use in a designated area. One unique aspect of Harrington Hideaway RV Park is its proximity to the adjacent golf course. Some RV sites even offer views of the golf course. The surrounding area offers various attractions and outdoor activities. Visitors can explore several lakes, engage in hunting activities, and enjoy the country backroads. Additionally, the town features museums, including a train museum and a county museum, offering cultural and historical experiences. For more extensive options, visitors can venture to Spokane, located about an hour away, which provides several entertainment and recreational opportunities.

When it comes to dining options, the golf course adjacent to the park serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The Harrington Golf and Country Club, accessible to the public, features a cafe and an upstairs event space with a dance floor and a full bar. Another recommended eatery by Tim is Harrington House, a pizza and family bar establishment that offers shuffleboard, darts, and a "comfortable atmosphere" for families to enjoy. Lastly, Tim says the Post and Office Coffee Shop is a "rustic Starbucks-like" establishment that not only offers coffee but also serves food and retail items. The coffee shop provides high-speed Wi-Fi and seating where visitors can relax.

Culture


The owners of Harrington Hideaway RV Park prioritize creating a safe and welcoming environment for their patrons. Tim, one of the owners, says they aim to provide privacy and a sense of freedom without unnecessary restrictions. He also explains the rural setting and "friendly atmosphere" of the surrounding community contribute to the park's "unique charm." Tim mentions one of the park's notable features is its seclusion from major highways and busy traffic, offering a "tranquil and private setting" away from the noise and congestion often found at larger RV parks located near freeways. According to Tim, people appreciate the serene atmosphere and the opportunity to relax in a peaceful environment. The owners strive to provide this atmosphere by personally interacting with visitors, welcoming them upon arrival, and offering assistance if needed. They take pride in seeing returning visitors and hearing positive feedback about the park. Maintaining the property and ensuring guests feel comfortable are their primary goals. One person who had stayed at the park mentioned, "It's a beautiful, peaceful, and relaxing place. The manager is very accommodating, and they really take care of their guests."

While the park does not host specific events or activities, the town of Harrington holds annual festivals, including a spring festival, a fall festival, and a vintage Country Fair in the summer. Golf tournaments are also a relatively frequent occurrence due to the nearby golf course. The park has established a partnership with the adjacent golf course, offering guests a two-for-one golf coupon when they stay at Harrington Hideaway. This partnership aims to encourage visitors to explore the local area and enjoy a round of golf.

Harrington Hideaway RV Park has policies in place to ensure a pleasant stay for all guests. Dogs are allowed as long as they are well-behaved, and quiet hours are observed from 10 pm to 7 am. Smoking is permitted as long as it does not disturb others or result in littering. Harrington Hideaway RV Park operates year-round, although some sites may not have water during the winter months due to freezing temperatures. The park experiences the highest level of activity from April to October, with hunters visiting during the later part of October. Tim remarks the park primarily attracts older retired couples and families as its typical demographic and that it receives a considerable number of repeat guests.

History

The house located at the Harrington Hideaway RV Park has a relatively interesting history, according to one of the owners, Tim, as the building was refurbished and saved from being condemned. Established in 1976, the property was originally a residential area with a house until someone decided to add RV park amenities to it after the construction of a nearby golf course in the late 1960s. Harrington Hideaway RV Park has gone through various ownership changes over the years, and the current owners have been featured in local newspaper articles. Its history and its previous owners can be found in these articles, providing a glimpse into its evolution. The property has been owned by four partners since 2010, who have made several improvements and changes to enhance the park. When the current owners took over, they focused on promoting the park as an RV park rather than a trailer or mobile home park. They invested in upgrades such as installing an irrigation system, adding sprinklers throughout the property, and remodeling various buildings. The office house received a new roof and windows. The owners plan on continually updating and maintaining the features of the park.
