Travel plans to visit National Parks
Hi I am not sure if this is the correct forum to ask these questions. We are planning a 16 stop National Park tour starting in Southern California. The stops include Las Vegas NV, Zion NP, Bryce Canyo...

While at Arches, consider staying an extra day in order to include Canyonlands NP. Moab UT has several campgrounds; we stayed at Spanish Trail, because it has a little shade (many don't in that area). Dead Horse Point SP is near Canyonlands & is a great place to stay; electric hookups available but you will need to bring your own fresh water.
Ditto on Grizzly RV for Yellowstone. If you can do without hookups, there are several CGs inside the park, but I would strongly advise reservations. Colter Bay RV Park, IMO, is by far the best place to camp for the Tetons if you need hookups; there are several good NPS and NFS CGs in the area there. Other private CG offerings there are not to our liking.
Lots of good CGs in the Black Hills (for Mt. Rushmore.) While there, make sure to visit Crazy Horse Memorial as well. Our favorite CG there was Rafter J Bar Ranch Campground in Hill City.
Don't miss Devils Tower on the way from there to the Yellowstone area; the KOA right at its base has an amazing view!
Depending on the size of your rig and if you need hookups, there is a CG right in Crater Lake NP. Haven't stayed outside of the park there. (We camped there in a popup, so no problem finding space in a campsite. However, we did have reservations.)
I hope you have allotted a lot of time for this trip. One day per park just won't cut it, especially for Yellowstone, Zion and Arches/Canyonlands, and the Black Hills. And I do recommend advance reservations, depending on the time of year & size & needs of your rig.
