Take Exit 47A off I-295 (or Exit 5 off the New Jersey Turnpike) to Route 541 south. After three miles (two from the turnpike exit) keep going straight (the road is now High Street) instead of following the 541 ByPass that turns right at a Burger King. Follow specific directions below for the appropriate area.

Visitors: Parking is available in municipal lots west of High Street between Rancocas Road and Washington Street, and in the Mill Race Village shopping district.

Crown Forces Camp (including Sutlers): Set up at the Burlington County Prison Museum, one mile from the Burger King. Turn right just before the museum onto Grant Street to park behind the museum (very limited parking here). If you must park on High Street, be sure to use spaces north of Grant Street (High Street will be closed south of Grant through downtown later in the day).

Colonial Forces Camp: Continue past the Burger King, Library and Old Prison Museum through the second traffic light (at High St and Washington St); we'll have signs and/or people in Mill Race Village directing you where to park and set up. If you're arriving late (from the Crossing dress rehearsal), you might want to avoid High Street and the crowds at the Prison Museum: turn right at the Burger King; then left at the first light onto Rancocas Road; then right at the first light onto King Street; then left at the first light onto Washington Street; then right onto Bispham Street and follow it into Monroe Street Park.
