A variety of wildlife, including deer, elk and bear, can be found in the surrounding area, creating prime opportunities for wildlife viewing.
Nearby Attractions
The Absarokee-Beartooth Wilderness Area is adjacent, boasting 700 miles of trails and hundreds of alpine lakes. The wilderness borders Yellowstone National Park and is a part of the 20-million-acre Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. The nearby town of Nye hosts Nye Goes Nuts annually in July. The popular event includes food, drinks, children's games and the chicken chase, a crowd favorite.

Great camping spot
This was our first camping trip up to Woodbine and we loved the area and our site. When they say the site is 30 ft max for RV's they mean it! That's about the size of mine(including the tongue) and I ended up parking it a little sideways to fit better. Plenty of room to park the truck beside the trailer though. Campsites were spaced out so you weren't right on top of each other. Short walk to the falls, places to run on your ATV or SxS and the river provides a nice opportunity to raft down. I was a little iffy as we were driving past the mine in Nye but you don't even know its there once you get back into the campground. Nye, which is just a few miles away has a gas station and a small convenient store in the case you forgot or run out of something. For how small the store is they have a lot of things in there you wouldn't expect to find. Woodbine is beautiful and one of the top places on our list that we've camped at so far in Montana. We will definitely be going back again!
A campground that has it all.
This campground is very popular. It is paved all the way though it allowing easy access to all. Reservations are a must. Campsites are generously spaced so you’re not to cramped. Fire pits, picnic tables and bear boxes for each site. The vault bathrooms are very clean. This is not a place if you want to get away from people. But it is very beautiful and easy to find.

And they asked,“Have you seen the falls yet?”
The road only goes up into this hollow and it seems like it ends at a mine. Curl around it and the road gets smaller and then you’re here. There are a few loops and it’s all paved. Sites vary in size and shade. We didn’t have reservations so we were left with finding an open site. Site 6 is perfect- evening shade and near water and restrooms. Water pressure was surprisingly good and there are a few spigots around camp. At first our camper was in the sun so we prepared dinner in the shade at the picnic table. There’s a spot next to it for a tent. By the time we returned from a hike shade was everywhere.
There is trailhead parking in one of the upper loops. We walked there and signed in. This is a wilderness so they monitor usage(also for rescue issues). The hike is all uphill to the amazing waterfalls. You stay along the river for a bit and then climb, only to return to the falls. It’s not that long and spectacular.
While our stay is short, others told us they had been there for a week. This is an unexpected find at the end of the road
