Thirsty Acres

Awesome weekend at Thirsty Acres!

Thirsty Acres is the perfect campsite in my opinion. It has everything you could want, multiple activities (kayaking, tubing, volleyball, fishing), beautiful and relaxing places to eat and drink, a picturesque river, a clean bathroom, outdoor shower, mature trees, a grill (AND A HOTDOG ROLLER), and an electric hookup for the camper. Tianna is a wonderful hostess, meeting us there for a tour and making us feel at home. She even arranged for us to do a 5-ish mile river kayak trip and arranged the drop. The kids LOVED it! The price is higher than most campsites because it's WAAAYYY better than most campsites, friends! We will definitely be back.
