The town of Dover, New Jersey is situated just west of Newark and New York and east of Allentown. Dover was established in the early 1700s by a man called John Jackson who built an iron forge in the town, which quickly became a significant source of employment in the area. With its proximity to Newark, Dover promptly grew with the implementation of a railway line, giving commuters easy access to the big city.

The town also grew in notoriety due to the Baker Theater, which has played host to many world-renowned performers such as Harry Houdini. This sprinkling of stardust combined with easy access to Newark makes Dover the perfect place to settle down. It's also ideal if you're looking to book an RV in Morris County without having to venture into the city.

The Great Outdoors

When you rent an RV in Dover, you’ll be in the perfect position to explore both your natural surroundings and the big city, with civilization to the east and wilderness to the west. There are a lot of parks to visit; one possibility is the Wildcat Ridge Wildlife Management Area. With over 500 acres to explore with numerous trails, there's plenty of wildlife to snap pictures of, including falcons. There are acres of untouched forest, ideal if you're looking to hike in the shade on a hot day. One of the unique points of the park is the abandoned Hibernia Mine, now home to over 20,000 brown bats.

Lake Hopatcong is also excellent for fishing, with catfish and sunfish native to the lake.
