Not aware of any shuttles from any campgrounds. Would be impractical as the parks are huge and cannot be seen on foot alone.
We were there last September and October and Arches was the only park (around Moab) that was crowded. Easy to drive into IF you get an early start as suggested. Canyonlands and Dead Horse were not crowded - by Utah standards that is. Both of those a vehicle is mandatory. Make sure you make side trips to the lookouts on the north and south in Canyonlands - breathtaking and so worth the extra driving.
Bryce and Zion you can use the park shuttles and leave you car behind. Almost necessary as they are really crowded with cars and tour busses. Monument valley you can take a guided tour by one of the companies. We drove that dirt road ourselves and it was probably the worst road I have ever been on in my life. I don't understand why it was so bad.
Do you own research, some you need a car and some you certainly want to leave it behind and use their transportation.
