Campground near Yosemite and Grand Canyon
Plan on making a long awaited trip from Florida Panhandle to Grand Canyon then on to Yosemite and Yellowstone. Looking for recommendations on parks close to Grand Canyon and Yosemite. Have a 41ft 5th ...

Um, don't think there are any parks/campgrounds close to both Grand Canyon and Yosemite.
(Ouch! Wise Guy.)
For the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, if you can't get a reservation for the Trailer Village IN the park, there is a park in Tusayan, just a mile or so outside the NP. It's not a great park, but it will work. Grand Canyon Camper Village, 45 foot max length.
However, it is very much worth it to get a reservation at Trailer Village, as then you can take the shuttle bus everywhere and never fire up an engine until you are ready to leave. If you stay outside the NP, you will have to drive in and find a parking spot.
Beyond that, I'd also recommend taking at least 8 weeks to see all three places. Maps says you are looking at about 5200 miles RT. That's 175 miles EVERY SINGLE DAY of a 30 day trip, which might be just a tad ambitious.
