Where the South Fork Clearwater River cuts through Nezperce National Forest, Newsome Campground sits 10 miles southeast of Elk City along a forest access road. This US Forest Service facility accommodates RVs up to 24 feet, with sites positioned near the river's edge. The campground provides direct water access for fishing and cooling off during summer months.

Forest service roads connect to Sing Lee Campground less than a mile downstream. The surrounding national forest terrain offers hiking access and dispersed camping opportunities for those seeking alternatives to developed sites.
