Token Creek County Park

11 ReviewsAdd Review
SUMMARY PRESENTED BYT-Mobile

Dane County's Token Creek County Park sits just off the I-90/39/94 corridor north of Madison, and that highway proximity shapes the camping experience here in ways worth understanding before booking. The campground runs through open terrain with a mix of tent and RV sites, electric hookups available on some but not all spots, and a layout where lower-numbered sites cluster near the shower house while higher-numbered odd-side sites back up against trees and a natural area. Reservations are available, and the season runs May through September 1.

Noise is a consistent theme in reviews. Highway traffic carries into the campground, and the nearby airport adds to it. That said, several campers note the sound varies, and the compact size of the campground keeps overall activity levels low. Mature trees on the odd-numbered side provide shade and a degree of separation from neighboring sites. Tish R. found "the grounds are super clean and not worn down," and multiple reviewers confirm the shower house stays well-maintained, with reliable hot water. Sheriffs patrol the grounds regularly.

Site selection matters here. Even-numbered sites occupy a lower-lying area that can flood after heavy rain. Site 19, for example, has been noted as small and lacking electricity despite appearing on the map as electric. Reviewing the site map carefully at booking avoids surprises. RVs up to 45 feet can access the campground, with 30-amp electric service and a dump station on site, though campers should bring extra hose length to reach it comfortably. The TA Travel Center in DeForest is less than a mile away for resupply.

Beyond the campsites, the broader park includes disc golf, hiking trails through meadow, marsh, and forest, a boardwalk around the marsh, a dog park with separate small and large-dog areas, and a model airplane field. A 24-hour diner sits next door. Mosquitoes are a real factor, particularly along the mowed paths between sites and inside the shower house. Tick awareness is appropriate throughout. For campers curious about campgrounds near Token Creek County Park, options in the area vary considerably in setting and amenity level.

Token Creek County Park works best as a convenient base for exploring the north Madison area or as an overnight stop along the interstate corridor, particularly for RV travelers who value hookups, a dump station, and quick highway access over remote seclusion.

Campers regularly cited the clean facilities, generous sites, and helpful hosts as key strengths. Highway noise is noticeable but manageable for most visitors, with quick access being a trade-off for solitude.

Small but mighty

We stayed at site 19, fyi, did not have electricity, and was super small. I would not recommend. On to the good stuff, the grounds are super clean and not worn down. It is small so therefore, quiet and not inundated with kids. I seen bunnies and chipmunks. There are a lot of mature trees on site, which provided abundant shade in the mid 80's. The campground hosts were kind, responsive and helpful. Sheriffs patrol the grounds and came thru twice a day. Most sites are flat. I only seen one site that was sloped. To the best of my knowledge it was within the sites 1-10 and for sure an even number. The showers provided plenty of hot water. One final note, the group site looked amazing, I'd love to rent that with friends. Happy camping!

Clean reasonably priced campground

We were looking for a quick place to stop overnight on our way out west and Tolen Creek County park did not disappoint. $38 total for an electric site. Decent park with a cool board walk around a marsh. A lot of mosquitoes thought!

Best spot near Madison

I love this place! Near the highway and airport makes for quick access but it can get noisy. It can also get very quiet and peaceful. Lots of hiking trails and a boardwalk. Swingsets, fishing, 24/7 diner and beer sales until midnight next door.

Fine campground with basic amenities

It’s close to the highway, which is a pro and a con. Not too loud though, and electric site with enough shade trees for summer. It’s also close to Gander RV, so if you forget something it’s a short hike away. I’d say a great campground to shake out the camper early in the season before your first big trip. Nearby to all the parks on north side of Madison. So a decent stop on your way down 90/94.

Nice County Park

I like this park. It is near I90/39/94 & HW51, and they are heard in the distance. This is a County park, so all are welcome. If you’re pretentious you might find the neighbors easy to judge, but I say take your judgements elsewhere anyway. KOA is up the road. Careful of the even numbered side. It’s a bit of a low space, and some sites can flood in heavy rain. That’s not to say the entire camp is flood prone. Just some sites. Sites are generous with space in the higher numbers. Lower numbered sites nearer the shower house get ‘friendlier’. Good 30A electric. Odd side backs up to trees and a natural area. This is tick country like anything in this area. Shower house is usually buggy, but otherwise kept up. The shower controls are a bit annoying. Push the button for several minutes of shower. Potable water, dump station, and non-potable water at the dump station are convenient. Have a bit of your own hoses to reach. If you’re good with your rig you can get nice and close to the dump station. The park is huge with separate small and any-size off leash dog areas, hiking trails, nature walk, frisbee golf, a model airplane space, and event shelters.

I have a 13’ trailer, and I like the privacy of the larger sites on the odd side in the low - mid numbers. Tent sites are mingled with trailer sites.

Good for one night—mosquito heaven

This is an attractive, well-kept campground, but like a previous reviewer said, it is quite noisy, being near an airport and freeway. There seems to be only one bathroom at the end of the camp, which is where the campground host and all the RVs are. They have mowed paths through the campground as shortcuts, but for this California gal it was like running a gauntlet of mosquitos. I was bitten horribly. Bathroom was nice, two stalls, two showers and one sink.

Camping Close to Town

This campground will do if you need to spend a few days sleeping outside, but its proximity to the interstate won't give you the same feeling of solitude and escape many of us find in the wilderness. There are picnic areas with covered shelters, a field for playing ball games, showers, a few bathrooms with electric outlets, and just a few miles of hiking trails through meadow, marsh, and forest.
