Item 1 of 5

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!

Kevin Walsh
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!

Maggie MacDonell
