I guess I don't understand getting a 'base camp' and traveling two hours to see something else and then two hours back again.
I'd recommend moving to different areas. Then you can explore all day without having to drive an additional two hours back to the campsite.
I'd suggest 4 nights in Zion; 4 nights in Bryce and 3-4 nights in Capitol Reef. Stay in the parks for the best overall experience.
We're open to trying anything! It's just a pain to tear down and setup multiple times, especially when we have a 27 hour drive from home. But any things an option! That's why we ask here. :)
