Something to consider when camping around the Moab(4000')area is elevation. Horsethief CG and Dead Horse CG are 5800-6000', definately cooler and windier than Moab which might be great in the hot times of the year but in winter? Plus some people like to be around the town action without a long drive after a busy day of MTB, hiking, quading etc.
We were up on the Dubinky Well road and Horsethief CG in early May, 2016 for about a week and it was pretty chilly even during the day. Lots of fresh snow in the La Sals.There was a group of MTB riders from Denver who had been coming to Moab for 20 years and this was the first time they had ever had 4 days of rain in a row. They were cutting their visit short and we inherited 10 bundles of firewood which we just about used up during that week.
