Notice of Closure - Frenchman Coulee Recreation AreaThe Frenchman Coulee Recreation Area is closed until further notice. This closure was necessary following the shutdown of Old Vantage Highway (Vantage Road Southwest) in Grant County, which is closed west of Silica Road due to an unstable rockface. At this time, the boat launch facilities and restrooms are unavailable for use.
Beautiful Riverside Camping... In the Columbia Basin with river access and a nearby designated swimming area. Campsites are close together, but very well maintained and easily accessible from the highway. No potable water, but there are restrooms that were clean and seemed to be well maintained. Can be a bit windy, but the views, river access, convenience and low price made up for any of the other concerns for me.
