Maple Shade Farm

5 sites · RVs, Tents60 acres · Hopewell, NJ
Maple Shade Farm sits on an idyllic 60-acre property adjoining roughly 1,200 permanently preserved acres of mixed farmland and forests known as St. Michael’s Farm Preserve. Our farm is home to a variety of farm animals, including horses, sheep, goats, pigs, chickens and honeybees. We offer English riding instruction suitable for riders of all skill levels, including adults and kids (ages 2+), western trail rides for individuals and couples, and opportunities for short guided "meet and greets" with the farm animals. The land is also beautiful and relaxing and surprisingly private given the short walk into town! Stay here and enjoy the sounds of nature, meet the animals, and get a feel for life on a farm or explore local towns, grab a bite to eat, and head back for a campfire in the evening. We have a little something for everyone. :)

The best camping near Princeton Battlefield State Park guide

Overview

About

Step into the past at Princeton Battlefield State Park, where the echoes of American Revolution battles inspire visitors. Wander through the historic grounds, envision the clash of Continental and British forces, and explore the Clarke House Museum. While camping isn't an option, the park's rich history and scenic trails offer a unique day-trip adventure.

When to go

The ideal time to visit Princeton Battlefield State Park is during spring and fall, when mild temperatures complement your historical exploration. Summer offers lush greenery but can be hot; winter brings a stark beauty, though some areas may be less accessible.

Know before you go

  • Check the park's opening hours, open daily from sunrise to sunset, to plan your visit accordingly.
  • Remember, pets are welcome but must be leashed and cleaned up after.
  • Accessibility is a priority; contact the Clarke House for specific needs.
  • While there are no entrance fees, consider a donation to support park maintenance.
  • Prepare for your trip by packing essentials, as there are no trash receptacles in the park.
