Arizona/Utah
Going to spend about a month around the Grand Canyon/Zion and Bryce Canyon areas. Looking for any suggested campgrounds. I'm thinking one park towards the south rim and another park up toward Zion and...

Everyone has the south rim covered already, North rim has no hook-ups but is much nicer IMHO. Not near as many people. If hooks are needed Jacob lake is closest hookups, then Kanab, UT. For Bryce and Zion we stayed in Panguitch at the hitch-n-post. Nice little town. They also have a KOA and the Panguitch Lake adventure resort. Be sure and drive Hiway 12 while you are there.

There are no hook ups at the USFS Jacob Lake CG, but there is a private CG/RV Park - I think the name is Kaibab (?) that is just a mile or so from the Jacob Lake CG and they have hook ups. The CG at the north rim is usually very crowded, as in be sure and make reservations but be advised it is tight. Large rigs will have one heck of a time getting in and out.
Lastly watch the weather (the OP will be fine in May), the North Rim is 9,200' and the Jacob Lake area right about 8,000' and the weather can get rat nasty in one big hurry November thru March and 89A is nothing you want to drive if it is cold enough for snow/ice.
With the huge storm that is roaring through California and marching into Arizona, Nevada and Utah as we speak anything above 6,000' is going to get slammed. We are rerouting our Zion trip this weekend through Vegas (oh darn), :R to avoid the higher elevations.
Be safe out there. :C
