Our services

  • Had a great winter trip to NS’s high point, White Hill, with Lee, owner of Live Life in Tents. 2 day back country ski trip in one of the most raw places in our beautiful province. Thanks for make the trip smooth and memorable, I highly recommend taking a guided trip or staying with LLIT!

  • I had a lovely stay at the Live Life in Tents campground. Very clean, has everything you need, and a gorgeous view!

    Teagan Evans

  • Live Life in Tents is wicked! Friendly folks and spacious campground with beautiful view over the jewel of Cape Breton Island, the Margaree Valley. I was there for a guided hike up the seawall, it was super intense and Lee the guide was beyond competent. Very impressed.

    Joe Carew

  • Tubing was fantastic and so glad we didn’t let thinking there wouldn’t be enough water change our plans! Such a great day and great service! Love the fun adventure that Life In Tents has brought to the Cape Breton for all ages!
