This Hobbit hole themed [camping tailer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stockman-products-trekka) will have you feeling like you're vacationing in the [Shire](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shire). The camper was built and designed by redditer samm1t.

True to the Tolkien classic, the Shire-like shelter has a rounded top as if it were fit into the side of a hill. It also features a round door with a single door knob in the center. For a more homey touch, samm1t has added a flower box, skylight and window. Like the abodes were styled in Samuel Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy, the walls are fashioned in a Tudor-esque style.

The Hollywood interpretation of this well-loved adventure came out last year. The second of a three part installation entitled 'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug' is scheduled to be released on December 11, 2013.
