THE STAY

A compact treehouse on the New River

Hobbit House is a treehouse-style cabin on the New River that provides a roofed, elevated campsite; it sleeps three adults or two adults and two children, and is intended for visitors who bring their own bedding and camping kit.

THE RIVER

Launch from your site

One of the property’s defining features is immediate river access: guests can paddle or tube right from their campsite—note that purchasing a Wahoo's activity is required with all camping reservations.

THE AMENITIES

Modern facilities close at hand

Although the Hobbit House is rugged in spirit, state-of-the-art bathrooms and showers are conveniently located nearby, letting you travel light on creature comforts without sacrificing basic hygiene.

What the day feels like

What the stay actually feels like

Expect a straightforward, water-focused overnight: arrive with your sleeping gear and cooler, claim the Hobbit House treehouse, and make the river the center of your day—launching directly from camp to paddle or tube stretches of the New River, then returning to the sheltered treehouse and nearby bath facilities at night. The operator pairs a back-to-nature setting with practical infrastructure so you can focus on river time rather than logistics.
