About Whitcomb Creek County Park

Whitcomb Creek County Park is a primitive campground nestled in the forest along Green Peter Reservoir. It offers a quiet setting for bird-watching, fishing, hiking, kayaking, and other water activities. The park provides non-hookup campsites and yurts, including a small yurt village with select units featuring decks overlooking the reservoir through the trees. Two nearby boat ramps provide water access, and the park includes restrooms and hand-pump water.

Please note the Green Peter reservoir water level may drop early in the season making the Whitcomb boat ramp unusable. In these conditions the Thistle Creek boat ramp can be used to gain access to Green Peter. The Thistle Creek boat ramp is about a 7-minute ride down Quartzville Drive from Whitcomb.

Love this campground we had a blast. Although the water was low we still had fun hanging at the campsites playing card games, walking around the campground and hanging out.

Furst off, the campground is beautiful! We stayed in one of the deluxe yurts, the peace and quiet was definitely worth it! Be forewarned, no electricity, no heat, no showers/sinks, and the running water tastes like rusty pipes! (Boil only). We went at a time the lake was drained, so we were not able to swim or otherwise get on the water. All that aside, it was a wonderful place to get away from the stress of everyday life and would highly recommend!

Good camping area, sites are very close together and kinda pricey for camping. There are also Yurts available to reserve This place has alot of RVs spots so be prepared to wake up to the soothing sound of generators drilling into your brain fist thing. There is a boat ramp close by and another one a short drive away (Thistle Creek) that should be open for low water conditions. If you have any questions don't waste your time calling Linn County Parks and Rec. They do not answer the phone and you will be sitting on hold for 1/2 hour, then it will prompt you to leave a voice mail saying they will call you back within 48 hours which won't happen. Bathrooms tend to run out of toilet paper and the doors on some of them do not lock. It's a good idea to have a buddy stand guard for you.

It's so beautiful over here!! Anywhere along this corridor is so nice and peaceful. The water is so clean and clear!! I love rocks, so this is a perfect place for me and my friends and family to come hang out. You can camp, swim, pan for gold and if your lucky maybe find gold, either way these are all fun experiences to have with your family and friends. Everybody I've met seems very nice and friendly. It's a nice break from everyday life!!!
