Closest to Cape May will be Belleplain State Forest, Estelle Manor, and Maurice River Bluffs. Not much in the way of hills, mostly sandy.

Bridgeton is developing singletrack in the city park; it is surprisingly fun and has hills you wouldn't expect in south jerz. Likely over an hr from you though depending on where in CM you are. EHT Nature Preserve is decent for a quick spin. Of all the trails mentioned in this thread though, Maurice River and Seaview are the best. Each are under an hr from CM. Don't forget Philly & the surrounds for road trips, quite the haul from CM though at nearly 2h. You can hop on the ferry and ride Cape Henlopen, which has some scenic trails and is a short ride to Rehobeth via bike path for a meal, Dogfishhead being a must-visit.

Forgot about cox hall WMA in villas old abandoned golf course not a lot of dirt but still fun and Garrett family preserve on the way to villas has a few trails and open to bikes

Second Maurice River Bluffs. They have some decent flow for south jersey and are easily lap-able. Some fun features buried away in the woods too as you ride along.

Unfortunately there's really not anything as good as Hartshorne in the Cape May area. But if you don't mind taking day trips you can hit White Clay or Allaires to spice it up.
