OK everyone; thanks again. Maybe I'll consider a trip in the Fall instead!
I've just been through the area (in late September) and it isn't any better. Almost everything in & around Moab was either reserved or full, although we did find a site in Arch View. Goblin Valley was full, as was Dead Horse Point & Canyonlands. There were one or two sites open at Horsethief. This was during the week - I suspect weekends are worse. Maybe it gets better after October...
While I hate being tied to reservations, Southern Utah is popular enough that I suspect they are necessary.
