Hune Bridge Campground

Wayne National Forest holds Hune Bridge Campground, a small Forest Service site in the hills outside Marietta, Ohio, where a historic covered bridge gives the campground its name. The bridge is currently closed to traffic, and a detour is marked on-site, though at least one visitor found the signage unclear. No drinking water is on-site. Come prepared with a filter, since creeks run through the surrounding area.

The campground has just four drive-in sites, each with a picnic table, fire ring, and lantern pole. Shade is good across the sites, with site four reportedly getting the most afternoon cover. Privacy between sites is limited, but the tree canopy keeps things comfortable. A vault toilet is on-site and has been noted as relatively clean and well-stocked. Shari G. describes it as "a historic covered bridge and lovely creek in the backyard," which captures the setting well. The campground also functions as a river take-out point, and while a canoe launch was lost to flooding, kayaks and small boats can still be carried down the embankment. Fishing and float trips are both feasible from here.

Stays are free, with a 14-day limit, and the campground operates year-round on a first-come, first-served basis, though reservations are listed as available through the Forest Service. Cell service is unreliable, and reaching the ranger district by phone or email has proven difficult for some visitors. Campers wanting a slightly larger setup nearby can look at Wayne National Forest Haught Run Campground or browse campgrounds near Wingett Run for other options in the area.
