The shower was amazing as it was around 30° with windchill! Waking up near the lake is a bonus, you can catch a good sunrise and sunset here. This is my second time here and I am sure not the last.

Thank you Michael for a beautiful view of Sandy Lake!! The only thing I would change with our stay would be to update the toilet situation via install a toilet with water that’s plumbed into a drain field etc. The sauna was cool :) 🐻

Great place, had it to my self most of the week. Good location for exploring the Keweenaw. Nice views. Sites 1-3 are on a pound. Each site has an increasing view of the pound as you go from 1 to 3.
2 and 3 are walk in sites, I was in 1.
Evan is a great host.

Really neat property. Evan met us when we arrived and rode a utv to where we needed to park. The cows chased us as we went passed their fence, because every animal loves my girlfriend, probably because they thought Evan was going to feed them. 🤣
The site are well designed. 3 had a great view of the good sized pond he has on his property. The location is ideal for people that are interested in rock hunting. 30 minutes from gratiot park. 10 minutes from Calumet waterworks park. 10 minutes from McClain state park.

Grateful to Evan for sharing land on his picturesque homestead with us! We spent 2 days exploring the Keweenaw Peninsula and this was an ideal home base. We would definitely stay again.

We loved camping on Evan's land! His land is private and tucked back by a lake. We were greeted by a wild turkey when we arrived at our campsite which was really cool. Campsites were set up really nice with a fire ring and picnic table. He also has an out house and running water from a well for guests. Tent sites have plenty of room but parking might be an issue depending on site. We really enjoyed our stay!

Site #4 was amazing. Away from everything, quiet, clean and beautiful. Evan was an excellent host super helpful and hospitable. We were thankful to find such an excellent property and host to stay with. We heard wolves, coyotes, and owls. The night sky was amazing. We'll definitely return. We had an F250 and a 11ft trailer and had no issues whatsoever navigating the campsite.

We had a perfect day! We hiked Silver Mountain and found the best macaroons at The Red Hen before arriving at the camp site. It is a beautiful setting. Shade trees and a peaceful lake. Still my favorite part of our stay was the sauna.

Excellent host. Nice spot. Young trees and shrubs at the campsite. If you need to hang a hammock or tarp it's not possible. Otherwise it's a great place to camp. I definitely recommend it.

Quiet site a short walk into the field with an amazing view of the pond on the property. The cart provided to haul supplies in was a great help. Evan’s an accommodating host with a great place to camp!

Great central location with easy day trips to the Porcupine Mountains, or Keweenaw Peninsula, Copper Harbor, Houghton etc. The Sauna is an excellent feature for this camp location. It was super luxurious to have hot showers and relaxing in the steam heat, especially since the first few days of our trip were pretty cold. Nice dock, very easy to launch our kayaks. Not quite as 'private' as I would love to be, as there are houses on the lake on both sides of the property, but all in all, we had a great trip. I would recommend this property.

This is a beautiful piece of property and our site was perfect in every way! We stayed at site 4 with our Off Grid Trailer for 4 nights. The site was spacious , very secluded and private and even though we had a a fair amount of rain one night it drained extremely well. Loved the two and cows in the pasture next to our site and to our surprise there was even some apple trees on our site that were in season that we were allowed to indulge in! Thanks Evan! The outhouse that is available for guests to use was very clean. The hosts were polite, courteous and respected our privacy during our stay. Thanks Evan for being a great host and we will definitely book this location again if we are ever back in Michigan!
