The one we enjoyed staying in the park was Zion NP. It has 30 amp power and water, but no sewer.
In the summer season, I vastly would prefer to be in the park, within walking distance of the shuttles, to avoid the long entrance station lines.
We also enjoyed staying in Big Bend NP. This is mainly a winter season park for a rig as large as yours. Rio Grande Village CG is dry camping, though there is a small parking lot type FHU RV campground run by a concessionaire. Big Bend is large, you could easily be driving almost 200 miles round trip from the closest off park FHU campground to see the sights.
Another that we have not been to but would consider staying the park essential is Death Valley. Another winter season park. There are some FHU sites available at DV, and lots of dry camping.
Closer to northeast Florida - I'd want to stay in the park at Great Smoky Mountains NP, and Mammoth Cave NP for a few days.
It is not a national park, but the USFS campground at Ocean Pond near Lake City is a nice campground which offers a very rustic/rural setting.
