Batsto Visitors Center

Great hiking area with a lot of history. The old mansion and abandoned town are really cool to see. The hiking trails are very scenic

This is a beautiful place. It’s historical and a perfect place for photography/models. Definitely a place to check out!

Very informative about the natural beauty and history of the area

Nice little gift shop area. Rangers were helpful with getting us checked in for our camping permit. Batsto village looks like a nice little place, though we were there to go hiking, so we didnt spend much time looking around.

Great place for fall, beautiful colors and good trails.

My favorite place in the world. I love it here. The workers love their job.

Batsto Village is a great place to learn the history of South Jersey. Although the museum is small it has tons of information about the area. My family and I go here a few times every year.

Fun, informative and a little bit creepy. Also recommend the little nature center and toms pond trail!

Very cool place. Im glad its being taken care of properly. The history is important. Joseph Wharton was an interesting, controversial man.

Passed by on our way to pick up a door and we noticed that there was a beautiful camp ground so on our way back we stopped went in and the young lady was very pleasant and helpful she was able to answer our questions and give us available details about camping

Good center, clean restrooms, huge parking lot

At the visitors center there is a museum that tells the history of the Batso area. There are many relics from the past on display, some of them you can touch and feel. And the animals of that area are on display. The visitors center also house a large theater, and a general store. There is also a guided tour of the Batso mansion and other buildings on the property which contains past history of the area. An excellent day trip for the family with a lot of history!

Wow please just so well cap staff is friendly as can be and very knowledgeable students loved it.. fantastic pictures

A good place to start a visit to historic Batsto Village. Grab a map to help you navigate the place with ease. Be sure to also check the small museum within the Visitor Center to learn about the history of the once-thriving industrial community and the attractions on-site. There are restrooms and a souvenir store. Admission is free but donations are welcome.

Staff is super nice. The campsites are clean, quiet, and super clean

So good to be with nature on a day like this

Neat little museum and gift shop. Gives some good historical context, but not the main draw of Batsto.

Great place to visit for a trip

Love visiting every season!

Very helpful staff..nice, quiet, historic place

Great place to learn about historical events

The Welcoming Center was very informative with many designs and displays. Due to a knee surgery, I was unable to walk around the property to see the various buildings. They enjoyed themselves.

Great lil info center / museum !

Beautiful and peaceful a great place to go for a picnic and pictures

Love the annual fall festival.

Nice historic location to walk around. Just $5 for parking and $3 for a walking tour in the old mansion

I always love this place full of history

Batsto Village is a great slice of South Jersey history. There are many original structures that offer a glimpse into the past. Although small, the museum is packed with information and exhibits. The grounds are clean and beautiful, and there are several forest trails for hiking and wildlife viewing. Support this National/State Historic Site!

Love this place year round

Love this little place! My family stops here several times a year to soak up the history! Beautiful grounds. We love the old village, but the museum, trails and picnic tables make it an all-around awesome family stop!

Water was nice and beach was clean. But even with 8 life guards only 1/3 of swimming area was open so it felt crowded. Bathroom toilet area was filthy. Snack bar was good. Ok prices and good food and lady was really friendly.

Fantastic place to spend a day learning about the history of the village and exploring the trails, on foot or on bicycle, of which there are quite a few from which to choose. Parking and admission were free when I visited. I will definitely be going back again!

Helpful staff clean trails. Beautiful grounds.

It was tremendously wet. I liked it. My favorite type of weather. The trails were well marked.

Great place to visit any time. Several walking and biking trails here. Many historic buildings you can walk through and a visitors center. The annual Country Living Fair is always a good time.

Very friendly staff. Never had a bad experience there.

Such a beautiful place but no tours or village structures opened

Nice selection of Pineland books.

Best bicycle trails in SNJ. Need the burnt bridge replaced.

Plenty to do hear for the whole family. There are several trail heads that originate hear for a brisk hike, and the village is a great attraction for the kids. Fishing, canoeing, and other water sports are also available at Lake Atsion, including camping and picnicking.
