Campgrounds around Reno, NV and SLC UT?
We're in a small class C and we prefer National and State parks over KOA style campgrounds. We're heading from Denver to San Fran via I-80 and I think we'll make SLC on Day 1 and Reno on Day 2. ...

If you're just doing one night and moving on, then I'd concur with Pony Express RV park in SLC. It's clean and convenient. If you're insistent on a state park, Willard Bay SP is about 45 minutes north off I-15. You'll want reservations there as it fills up.
For the Reno area, consider going 15 minutes further to Verdi and stay at the Gold Ranch Casino & RV Park. It's in the mountains, spaces are wide with grass, and it's less expensive than Sparks Marina. There are some hiking trails nearby.
And if you're willing to go 30 minutes further to Truckee, there are a couple of nice Forest Service campgrounds on the Truckee river, just down CA 89 from Truckee. We've stayed at Granite Flats campground several times. Some road noise during the day but it's nice to be right on the river. No hookups.
