If you're just "passing through", I'd go to Goose Island, 1.5 miles up UT 128 from US 191. Normally full all the time, but I'd imagine that this time of year, sites would be available. Some fairly large sites in that CG. If everything is full there, another 10 minutes up UT 128 try Big Bend. Again, some larger sites in there.
If you have a little more time, you might try Dead Horse Point SP. About a 30 minute drive up UT 313 off US 191. $30/night for 20/30/50 amp hookup, flush toilets, and amazing views. Another one of those places full most of the year, but right now it's easy to get into.
Horsethief is indeed the name of the BLM CG up 313. One advantage over the CG's along UT 128 is that those down by the river don't get much sun due to the canyon walls, while Horsethief is on the plateau and does. Important if you are relying on solar this time of year. More spacing and privacy at Horsethief.
Follow this lead - Really good advice.
