You'd be surprised how bright Wantage is these days. I'd actually look west at places like Long Valley and Califon. There are also areas of Clinton that fit the bill when you get away from the highway.

A little south you can also follow the Delaware to places like the outskirts of Frenchtown and just across the PA border work like Mt Bethel.

I live in LV and sometimes I can’t believe how bright the stars are here!

Just moved here, and I’ve been taking time to stare at Jupiter and Mars when I leave for work in the mornings.

That's a bit south, but chances are it's probably just as far of a drive for OP. Lovely area near Clinton and Flemington.

I watched a meteor shower from Chester/Mendham once and was very impressed. I was in a friend’s yard though, so OP might need to find a park or something.
