Do you mean Newport VA (Virginia) or UT (Utah)?
Have you tried Google Maps? They aren't the best, but are usually up to date.

Utah is landlocked. I don't think there is a Newport, Utah.
I would not have asked if I did not know it was a nice section of Bountiful UT.

You won't have any trouble with US Rt.7, it's the major north/south highway. Well, at least to Vermont standards, it an improved 2 lane road. This route takes you right up the Champlain valley (outstanding scenery). Once you make it to Burlington get on I89 east to Waterbury, then get on Rt. 100 north to Newport. I don't know what kind of rig you have, but I doubt you'll have any trouble with this route. However, you should be aware that there are not many campgrounds in VT. and they mostly cater to smaller rigs and tents. Make your reservations early and specify your size and space requirements. I'm a native Vermonter (living in NH) I go there every year for family gatherings and I'm always astounded lack of CG and the condition of them. There are some new ones that are really nice, but I end up driving 30-40 miles to get to see my family.
