Hune Bridge Campground sits along the Little Muskingum River in Wayne National Forest with just four sites, all non-electric and spacious. The campground takes its name from the historic covered bridge overhead and charges $10 per night. It's a quiet, intimate setup best suited for weekday visits when locals aren't using the area as a river access point.
Hune Bridge Campground offers four non-electric campsites suitable for tent camping and RVs. The sites are spacious and located near the river. No group camping or luxury accommodations like cabins or glamping options are available.
Historical Significance
The Hune Covered Bridge is the main historical feature. It's a wooden structure that has stood over the Little Muskingum for generations and still functions as a river crossing. The bridge gives the campground its name and its character.Weather and SeasonsSummer is the best time here. Daytime highs run 75–88°F, evenings drop to the mid-50s to upper-60s. The river is warmest and most inviting for paddling, swimming, and fishing during these months. Summer weekends fill up fast despite the tiny site count, so weekdays are quieter. Bring bug spray. Spring brings wildflowers and occasional rain. Fall delivers good color in the canopy, though mornings can be misty. Winter gets cold enough to challenge most campers.
ElevationWhile specific elevation data awaits documentation, the campground rests comfortably in the river valley, offering level camping spots that make setup a breeze for families and first-time campers alike.
