There is a lot of variability in temperatures in Southern Utah due to elevations ranging to over 10000 feet in some camping areas. Zion, the Vermillion cliffs etc. July temps are often between 100 and 110 during July, but it does tend to cool off at night, albeit sometimes till fairly late. A lot of that area has really dark skies, so staying up till midnight and taking in the stars isn't necessarily a bad thing. Trick is to have a site where you'll be shaded when the sun is on the eastern horizon so your rig doesn't heat up as soon as the sun comes up in the AM.
Unfortunately, almost every year we have deaths in the southern part of the state from hikers that underestimate the heat. Take lots of water, considerably more than you think you'll need, know your limits, and try to avoid hiking in the hot part of the day. I love exploring the area all times of year and you just have to adapt for each season.
