Citico Creek Wilderness

"Great place camp but getting there is very rough road has potholes everywhere. Some places on road is very narrow can't pass other vehicles. Seen a truck slide off road almost rolled into creek"

"Awesome place. As with any wilderness area some of it has been vandalized and occasionally you'll find trash. Camp site 9 is a sweet spot. Close to the water, open and flat. Spend as much time as you can in this entire forest, it's good for your soul"

"Beautiful park - had no trouble finding a secluded spot to park and enjoy wading in the water with my dog. The road on the way can get bumpy but my little hatchback had no problems."

"“Exceptional Adventure to Cherish For Adults & Children Alike” EXCEPTIONAL ADVENTURE TO CHERISH FOR ADULTS & CHILDREN ALIKE This is an animal park with a real kick! 200 animals, mostly roaming free on 100 acres of private land surrounded by thousands of acres of Cherokee National Forest. Numerous baby animals (some only 2 hrs. old!) of exotic species you've never heard of since their native habitat may well be thousands of miles away. They may sidle right up to your protected touring 4-wheel-drive vehicle as it navigates rugged terrain, high ridges and lush valleys. All are wild beasts but non-carnivorous. (Do ask your trusty tour guide Cleve Tedford about the zebra biting off the tail of the donkey!) Tour the property for 2+ hrs. depending on how many questions you ask and not see another soul. Wilderness setting where GPS and cell phones don't work. There's no sign at entrance, just locked gate that could go to anywhere when opened . . . but the road beyond does lead to Cleve dream, a hideaway folks who visit could never conceive that a place like this even exists. . ."

"First off, Cleve couldn't be a nicer man! On top of his kind nature, he is highly informative. And he should be, he has a very special and large plot of land with several rare species of animals just roaming freely! Now I don't want to give too much away but just know, unless you've been on safari in Africa or the like, you haven't been privy to such wildlife in this type of surrounding. This is one man's labor of love and it shows. I highly recommend it to all!"
