From Jackson Hole, take 89/191 south to Rock Springs, then continue south on 191 to Flaming Gorge. Nice campground north of Dutch John, called the Firefighter's Memorial, water and dump and some elec. Then down the hill to Vernal and staying on 191 to I 70, then east and down to the Arches..then back up to I 70 and across CO.
We took I-90 West towards Rapid City, SD. When the Badlands come in to view along I90 it is pretty spectacular. You can find a campground near the airport at Wall, SD. From there you can take your toad to Rushmore and the Badlands. We continued across I90 and picked up 14 just north of Sheridan,WY, which we took through Cody and in to Yellowstone. There are RV parks all along the way for you to stay at. It is still open range and we had to wait for a large flock of sheep to cross the road before we got in to Cody, WY. Lots to see around that area. From there you can drive south from Yellowstone through the Grand Tetons, Jackson and pick up 191 south through Rock Springs to Dutch John. There is a campground in Dutch John, that is basic and the Fireman's Memorial campground is SOUTH of Dutch John, UT. Nice area, but watch out for cattle on the highway since it is open range with no fences. Or you can head on to Vernal, UT and on down 191 to Moab, UT to see Arches, CanyonLand, and Dead Horse Point. After that, you can head north back up 191 to I70 and head to Denver and East by any route that you like.
