I'm sort of interested in practicing in a private setting in the future, but how common is it that physicians in such a setting are also able to do basic clinical research?

I don't know how common it is, but you can do it. Set up a practice, staff it with great docs and nurses, and in a couple of years you'll be set. Of course this all downplays the difficulty of it.
I'm sure you could be a participant center in a study.
You could easily be a clinical research subject. Might not be a bad way to make some extra cash.
Another possibility is to work in a private setting but then attach yourself to a larger (state/nation wide) study. A big downside to this is that you would have little freedom to research what you want to research, but it would give you a start.
It also depends a lot on what area of medicine you want to practice and how close to major research institutions you want to practice.
