Hi It's Tim & April and Tabi too!This time we are off to do a little camping and boating this is the last run before we sell our trusty "Das Boot" at Green Peter Lake, Green Peter is located about 10 miles from Sweet Home Oregon in Linn County and only a short 79 miles from our hometown of McMinnville. The lake is nestled in the woods it boasts hiking, camping , boating , fishing, Picnicking and swimming .
We choose to stay at Whitcomb Camp Ground ,there is a charge, the spaces were nice and you have room for RV , trailers or Tents, you can reserve online, it does have bathrooms and water (that was kinda a funny color) but NO SHOWERS , it was a short 1/2 mile hike to the dock through some beautiful woods , you can camp many places along 
the lake
for free if you choose .
the lake
for free if you choose .Green peter is just past Foster Dam , also a great little lake , we found Green Peter to be a bit more private , the water was 74 degrees and most of the time we had the lake to our selves .
We like to go on the week days rater than the weekend feels like the lake is yours alone most of the time .
There are plenty of inlets to get away too and even if you don't have a boat its nice on the shore , there was plenty of wood washed up on shore for your nightly fires . Bring some bug spray there are alot of bugs waiting to drink your blood .
There is plenty of space to roam around the lake the mornings are a bit cool which was nice even on the cloudy days the sun came out in the afternoon . The lake is very long and very deep .
Pack whatever you need it is a ways to town and don't forget a camp shower if you want to wash up . Its a great place for families and kids right in the woods of the northwest . Those cold mornings make the bacon taste better! If your a boater you'll love the space to roam , speed limit is 30 MPH and their is plenty of room to tube swim fish and ski , Tabi tubed for hours . There is also a floating bathroom on the lake for you to use which was nice to have , the dam is worth a walk across the view is awesome .
Get out there and enjoy the rest of summer , in Oregon it can end in a heart beat so enjoy the sun.
Till next time
Tim April & Tabi!
