Shortly after the start of the Newton Road trail there is a junction that heads up the power line road. About 1/10 mile up that road you should see a trail on the left. The camp is about 200 feet off the road. I'd be very careful about checking it out further though.
I was over there today and I think I know the junction you're talking about, but I went the other way (north, toward the power lines) along a wide and obvious path for about 50 yards. But then there was a bushy tree blocking the path and I didn't feel inclined to go further. There was a lot of litter along the path, but it didn't seem like fresh litter.
I've poked around the small clearing on the other side and found a cool old piece of machinery buried in the grass, but hadn't noticed a path leading further away from the road in that direction (south, toward Newton Road).
While climbing up Newton Road, not long after crossing the creek, I did look across the ravine and saw a pretty complex and seemingly in-use shelter structure perched precariously up on the hillside, about 100 feet above the trail. Wow! Maybe that's in the neighborhood of the camp you saw. You'd have to approach it from the backside; the ravine is way too steep there to climb directly up.
