Camp Don Harrington is located near the Palo Duro Canyon in Canyon, Texas. The Camp was given to the Boy Scouts of America by Don and Sybil Harrington in 1945. Over the years, the council has acquired several acres of land to protect the camp from over building on the rim of the property. This camp is full of Cottonwood tress and Junipers that keeps most of the campsites shaded from the hot summers. There are many great facilities to use during your stay including our 5- stand shooting sports complex, dining hall with central air and heat, training facility, and two pools!
When making a reservation, please arrive no later than 10pm. We have designated 10pm as quiet hour and arrivals after that, creates unnecessary disruption of fellow campers. We appreciate your cooperation!
From November 1st through April 1, Campsites are limited for water access so the campsite you choose during your reservation process may be reassigned by the Ranger upon your arrival.

Camp Don Harrington is open for both Scouting and some public use. Overnight campers must be registered in the Boy Scouts of America as per our agreement with the Harrington Family.
Please arrive no later than 10pm on Friday/Saturday evenings. Quiet hour begins at 10pm and vehicles and human traffic creates unnecessary noise
All visitors to camp must check-in with the Camp Ranger or designee at the front gate.
At registration for camp use, choose any 4 digit number that you wish and you can pass on that number to other members your group ahead of time so they can get access to the camp. Be aware that until your key person making the reservation or designee checks-in with the Camp Ranger, the number will not be active. The Ranger enters your code at that time and the number is removed upon your departure.
All groups must check-out with the Camp Ranger or designee unless other arrangements are made. We will check for trash and damages to equipment, and any environmental damages that may have occurred. If you have been allowed to have a campfire, please make sure it is completely extinguished before leaving the site.
If you cancel the use of camp where you have paid to use a facility or equipment, you must cancel within 3 business days or you will incur a cancellation fee of 25 percent of the total fees incurred. Ex: You paid $50.00 to use the pool (10 people) and you cancel 2 days prior to the date you reserved, you will be charged $12.50 and refunded the remaining amount.
Please cleanup the area you used prior to departure. You should always leave an area cleaner than you found it! The Camp Ranger will notifiy the Council Office if your unit has not left the area at least how you found it and may cause future unit deposits or total ban from the camp.
