RV Rental Flemington, NJ

One of the most convenient places to spend a day outside is the Bernadette Morales Nature Preserve on the west side of town. The park is centered on Walnut Brook and has a couple of trails weaving around it that total a mile or two. It’s also connected to Mine Brook Park on its southern end if you need a longer jog or stroll.

A more serious hiking adventure can be found at Sourland Mountain Preserve, a short distance to the east of Flemington. Its most popular trail is a six-mile loop with about 300 feet of elevation gain that involves a few boulder fields and stream crossings. The preserve has a few trails in addition to the loop, which are marked with white, blue, and red blazes.

Perhaps one of the most unexpected activities in Flemington is a visit to the local buffalo farm. These massive creatures might look at home on the Great Plains but seem positively out of place on the Eastern seaboard. A visit here can provide an opportunity to see and interact with a species that usually is far removed from urban areas.

Despite being in a largely rural part of the state, there isn't a wide variety of camping options when you choose a motorhome rental in Flemington. One of the closest campgrounds is Mountainview Campground near the town of Alexandria. Sites have electrical hookups, and there’s a small playground for the little ones, but for the most part, it is a primitive campground best enjoyed by visitors wanting to spend quality time in nature. It’s also conveniently located a short distance from Interstate 78, so you won’t need to drive too far when you rent an RV here.

For a more amenity-filled experience that’s also right off I-78, take a look at Jugtown Mountain Campsites. They have full hookups for your camper rental from Flemington, along with a swimming pool, a dump station, hot showers, and some nearby hiking trails. When you camp at either of the above locations, you’ll be close to some interesting attractions like the historic red mill in Clinton and the Crayola crayon headquarters in Easton, Pennsylvania.

There’s also the Colonial Woods Family Camping Resort in nearby Bucks County, Pennsylvania. They have electrical hookups, a swimming pool, laundry facilities, and a rec center where dances or other events are held. If you’re thinking about visiting Pennsylvania Dutch Country when you choose a travel trailer rental in Flemington, this could be a great place to stay.

If you’re interested in exploring Flemington’s past, stop by the Samuel Fleming House and Museum. It was built in the late 18th century and is the oldest home in the region. It’s now filled with fascinating artifacts from the town’s earlier days and is also flanked by a beautiful garden, which has been populated with period-specific toys so kids can both have fun and learn a little at the same time.

Visitors seeking some culture should take a drive up to Clinton, home of the Hunterdon Art Museum. Its setting is a large part of the experience, being located on a tranquil stream in the middle of the forest. The museum is housed in an old gristmill and has a variety of sculptures, paintings, and photography exhibits.

To score some great deals while you’re visiting the Flemington region, head over to the outlet mall in town. The complex isn’t very big, but it has a few name brands, and its layout is meant to look like a colonial community. Given Flemington’s proximity to the Pennsylvania Dutch region, you might also want to pick up some Amish products, which you can find at the Dutch Country Farmers Market. They’ve got all kinds of delicious goods, from smoked meats to fresh produce; perfect for making a great meal back at your campsite.
