Hune Bridge is a small Forest Service campground in the Athens Ranger District of Wayne National Forest in Ohio. It sits across the historic Hune Covered Bridge, with four campsites just below the bridge along the Little Muskingum River. Beyond camping, the site works as a canoe access point on the river and as the trailhead for a 5-mile hiking trail to the Rinard Covered Bridge. Facilities are basic: vault toilets are provided, and a fee is charged. Late spring and early fall tend to be the most comfortable times to camp. Typical averages from the nearby Newport, OH weather station run to highs of about 74°F in May and 78°F in September, with lows in the 50s. The Covered Bridge hike starts just 0.1 mile away, and Shay Ridge is about 1.2 miles off. Bell Ridge Boulders offers climbing roughly 4 miles away, and Leith Run Campground lies about 7 miles away.
