Why come to Live Life InTents? A local’s point of view
Why come to Live Life InTents? For the same reason I came here and stayed here, I guess. Because there’s no place like it. Because you can pitch your tent and stare out at the vast sky until dawn. Because the river is a stones throw away and you can glide down it on a tube. Because there are towering trees and rolling mountains and ocean waves that will capture your heart and make you never want to leave.

We spent the rest of the evening laughing, writing and reading books as the smokey smell of the fire settled over us.
