RV Parks around Moab and Kanab Utah

Lots of good advice. From our travels to the Utah NPs, stay closer and move around to give your self more time to visit each park and less driving. Each park is unique and worthy of a few days visit to them. Check the NP websites for programs that might interest you such as:
At Bryce, dark skies program with telescopes to view the stars.
At Zion, various Ranger led programs and hikes. Recommend you arrive early at Zion to get a parking spot in the park.
At Grand Canyon, we prefer the North Rim but the main emphasis on the North Rim is great overlooks and hiking. We were at the North Rim in Sept 21-23 2017 it snowed and was very brisk -- with great Aspen tree color.
Enjoy your trip!

We are making our final plans to visit southern Utah this September. We will be leaving Maryland the Tuesday after Labor Day and expect to take 6 days getting to Moab. After taking 2-3 days visiting Arches and Canyon Land NPs, we will move aver to Kanab and spend 4-5 days seeing Bryce Canyon, Zion and Capitol Reef NPs. Our next stop will be Flagstaff, AZ for seeing the Grand Canyon before heading home. In all the trip is planned for 30 days leaving ample time to wander about the I70 and I40 corridors on the trip.

I'd recommend taking the extra days of wandering around the I-70/I-40 corridors and adding those days to the southern Utah parks. Or... just plan to add more days for your trip.

I'd then recommend that you stay in or near each one. Your plan to do Bryce, Zion and Capitol Reef from one base involves a LOT of time and driving. You won't begin to have time to enjoy the parks.

From Moab make your way to Torrey for an RV park to visit Capitol Reef.

Then take Hwy 12 to Bryce and stay at Ruby's just outside the park entrance. The free park shuttle stops there.

For Zion you might look around Glendale instead of Kanab. It'll be a little closer to Zion. Kanab really doesn't have nice RV parks.

If you're planning Grand Canyon South Rim take Hwy 89 to 64 and come into the park from the east. No need to go all the way to Flagstaff. Try to get a site at Trailer Village in the national park itself. You'll enjoy it so much better than commuting.

When we're in the Kanab area, we drive a little further and stay at Kaibab Camper Village at Jacob Lake. It's still within good driving distance of Zion, Kolob Canyon, doable driving distance to Bryce, and close to the North Rim of the GC. This is a great RV park for walking the dogs. A lot of central roads and you can walk outside the park too.

We stayed here too and liked it. Dirt, but not a problem in the dry weather.

we stayed at a KOA on the south side of Moab
Nice as I recall
bumpy

Last Oct we stayed in Moab at Canyonlands RV park. Good location, Moab brewery 5 min walk, a little tight, clean, nice people.
Bryce we stayed at Ruby's, nice sites, shuttle pickup out front, clean.
Zion we stayed at Zion Canyon campground, large, clean, 1 girl at the desk needed an attitude adjustment, others were just OK. I would try and stay in the Park next time but not full hookups.

Can't help directly with RV parks as we stay at NPS or BLM CG's. But wouldn't advise using Kanab as a base to see Zion, Bryce, and Capitol Reef NPs. With typical delays at the tunnel, Zion will be 1 1/2 hours each way (3 hours every day), Bryce close to two hours (four hours of commuting), and Capitol Reef well over 3 hours each way (probably over seven hours of driving). I'd try to stay closer to each of these parks so you can see them rather than the windshield as you go to and from them. If you need FHU, try Ruby's near Bryce Canyon. Thousand Lakes and Wonderland seem to be used by some who need FHU nead Capitol Reef. Near Zion there are several options. Rather than me summarizing all of them, use the search feature and type in "Zion". You'll get lots of hits.

Unless you're also wanting to visit some of the NM's in the area of Flagstaff, might I suggest Trailer Village on the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. FHU CG convenient to the bus system around the village.

We did 5 days at the Spanish Trail RV Park last April and thoroughly enjoyed it. It is just a couple of miles south of downtown Moab right on 191 with all of the amenities you seek. There is a good restaurant right across the highway, you can easily walk over and the food was excellent though the name escapes me. :h Keep in mind that reservations are always a good idea in Moab.

Sounds like a great trip, enjoy!
