Sanctuary at Little Sand

I loved this campsite! They had everything you could need—cooking equipment (pans, silverware, plates, biodegradable soap), bug repellent, and a super comfy bed. Can’t recommend this site more.

The site was secluded and on a beautiful property with trails, tons of wild raspberries, and a flower farm. We had so much fun exploring the local waterfalls and sea caves. The bugs were not bad at all for late July and there was an amazing view of the stars at night.

Great place to launch off for apostle island adventures!

We loved our stay at little sanctuary. The site was quiet and peaceful. It was also close to great hiking, kayaking, and restaurants. We were coming from out of state so it was nice that they had almost everything we needed.

We are back home after a magical Thursday-Monday Sanctuary stay, and I am missing the rhythm of our days on Little Sand Bay. Our hosts’ grand canvas tent and thoughtful amenities (incredibly comfortable beds and bedding, bathroom, tables and chairs, campfire, deck, and so much screened space inside the tent to fully relax and lounge in) provide a true shelter so that our family of four would love to live all through summer there, soaking up Lake Superior’s South Shore. This was our 3rd visit to Sanctuary (we returned after 2 previous idyllic summer stays with our young children—now 8 yrs and 5 yrs old), and this time we got to experience the new site, atop a breezy hill with sunset and lake views! We all slept so well each night with cool night air and forest sounds like a lullaby, and the comfort of the shelter made a summer rainstorm especially lovely. Our hosts’ thoughtfulness and creativity shine bright in the experience their sites offer, and we feel very fortunate that they have chosen to share so much with us. Mil gracias!!!

Little Sand was solitude and nature! We had 40 acres to ourselves, and the tent was sturdy and comfortable to withstand a thunderstorm and provide us rest after exploring the Apostle Islands. It was just 2 miles from the kayak launch spot where we’d planned to kayak. Our hosts were so hospitable and respectful and helpful!

Beautiful,perfect lil off the grid getaway!! The hosts were the most helpful kind people!! We thoroughly enjoyed our time here! Bayfield is just a short drive away and a wonderful place to explore!!

This was an excellent spot to explore the area, about 15 mins from Meyers Beach (sea cave kayak & hike start point) and 15 mins from Bayfield! Luke and Marielena were excellent hosts, very communicative and gave us awesome recommendations for the area. The tent was perfect for a girls weekend and we felt safe the entire time (although we got a little nervous when we heard from the local black bear!). The camping stove was easy to use (bring your own propane) and the grill was a nice option for campfires. Well stocked with kitchenware and cooking gear. Comfortable mattress and warm blankets, would recommend bringing pillows. The thermacell provided was great for the mosquitoes and we did have to watch for ticks. We would definitely stay again for a disconnected and comfortable glamping experience in this incredible area! Looking forward to another stay

Had a lovely weekend getaway here. Hosts were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They were quick to respond to any questions we had and made great suggestions regarding weekend activities and plans. We also loved the soaps made by the host Marielena and made sure to purchase a few to take home with us :) would recommend to anyone!
