Thoroughly enjoyed this spot. We enjoyed it so much that we extended our stay instead of going to a new campsite. We had it all to ourselves the full week which was even better. The stars at night over the water and from the fire were phenomenal. Such a serene location. There is a home right behind the sauna and many others nearby which was unexpected but didn’t pose an issue just much less of a secluded campground than initially expected. Great location to travel the UP on day trips.

It was very quiet and peaceful. The outhouse was adequate and the sauna was refreshing. The mosquitoes were horrid,but we put up our screen tent and the breeze from the lake helped keep them at bay. The dogs loved being off leash!

It was a nice and well looked after property, they have a shower and sauna all in one building, spacious places for tent, picnic table and fire ring, you only have to talk to someone by messaging, and they are prompt at responding, we definitely plan on going back, only downside, no WiFi, phone in SOS mode, I’d rather pay a little more for WiFi though. But well worth the stay.

Loved the spot.
Off the beaten path, so you don’t hear any traffic.
Plenty of nice places to put your tent.
Beautiful quiet lake.
Decent pit toilet and amazing shower/sauna.
Great place to sit around a campfire.

Great trip. We had the place all to ourselves all week. Dogs loved being able to run free and chase chipmunks. Lake did not produce and fish for us but we enjoyed being able to kayak anytime we pleased. Sauna and shower were great perks.

We loved camping at Gentle Breeze. The sauna/shower was super convenient after a long day on the ORV trails in our SxS. Would definitely recommend this stay!

Nice private site in the UP away from the crowds of state parks. Easy to find with Michael's directions, but nice and remote. Sites are nice and spread out/plenty of privacy.

Only one of the three campsites has a pretty view of the lake. Sauna and shower looked very nice.
Great site for a family or large group. If you’re solo camping or there’s just a couple of you and don’t get the spot closest to the lake then you may be disappointed.
Overall great site for the cost.

This property is a must. The bonus of a sauna and shower makes it even more worth the while. I highly recommend going for a good quiet lakefront stay!

Campers have individual likes and preferences. "Gentle Breeze" on Sandy's Lake is close enough to perfect for me. Weather 9 of 10 nights sunny & a Gentle Breeze and a cool wet day keeping neighbors indoors so that my chainsaw (large dead trees) made addional usable fire rings burning wood. The two other sites with the friendest people coming and going were the icing on the cake.

Nice view of the lake with loons calling at night. So glad to have had access to a shower and the site was nice and clean.

Great place to stay!! Sunsets on the lake we're beautiful, and it was wonderful to see all the stars and the milkyway since you can't in the city. The shower was awesome too! My dog loved being able to swim everyday. I hope to come through and stay here again! Thank a bunch.

Great space in a great location! Loved the lake, shower, and sauna. We were able to take a lot of nice day trips and just enjoy some of the local woods and waters. Infrastructure wise just remember to bring your own water and pack out your trash. Michael gave us a lot of great suggestions for local spots to check out and they were some of the highlights of our trip

Very private, easy access to the lake, sauna looked awesome-I didn’t have time to use it but would appreciate some instructions just to make it easier/safer for people who aren’t familiar w/them.

It was a very private area with access to a shallow lake. It was primitive but just what we were looking for. Micheal was a great host. I hope he can continue to keep his price so reasonable.

Gentle Breeze Camping
It's the perfect property if your looking for some rustic off grid RV camping with no hookups. Its big and spacious enough for an RV in the middle or back campsite. Unfortunately, I doubt an RV can fit in the front campsite, which is perfect for a tent or hammock. Its right on the water with a little dock to fish from. Plenty of firewood lying around from where the brush piles have been pushed back. Theres a pit toilet by the back campsite. Each site has its own picnic table and firering. At $20/night for waterfront camping with 3 bars of Verizon cell service to stream movies or update your travel blog in the Upper Peninsula is pretty rare. So you really can't go wrong.
Unfortunately, there are a couple drawbacks. I booked 3 nights and only stayed one because I wanted to fish, swim and work on my website all weekend long. This wasn't an excursion trip for me, and if you don't score the front campsite you're out in the open under the blistering heat. Which I didn't want to do for 3 days, but if I had an RV or truck camper to blast the A/C this would have been a mute issue. The lake is setup more for fishing than swimming so this place missed the mark for me and the trip I was on, but if your looking for quiet quaint waterfront fishing campground you'll love this place. And when nature and campfires bore your kids, well you can always fire up the IPAD and stream some cartoons.
Wish there where some hammock posts setup for site #2 & #3 since there are no trees.

Michael’s land is quaint and very beautiful. We enjoyed fishing on the dock and hanging out in the water. The land is a bit hidden and hard to find but it was such a nice vacation and we would love to come back. If you are a small group or a family I’d recommend renting the whole area!
