If you don't mind dry camping there's Horsethieft Campground operated by the BLM. Plenlty of room for you rig and not many miles from Dead Horse and Canyonlands NP.
We loved Horsethief BLM. Lots of room with up-to-date blacktop roads, dark sky and when we were there very few people.
At the junction of US-191 and UT-128 about a mile on 128 is a spring on the side of the road. A number of people get water there. I do not remember if there is a "connection" for a hose or not (we only stopped to taste the water). UT-128 is a very scenic drive.
On UT-128 are a number of BLM campgrounds for example
Goose Island Campground is located 1.4 miles from Highway 191 on Highway 128. The campsites offer spectacular views of the Colorado River and massive red rock cliffs of Arches National Park. Both RV and tent camping are available including 3 walk-in tent-only sites. This campground is popular due to its proximity to town, its shade during the summer, and the beautiful scenery. Campsites are available on a first-come, first served basis.
