National Parks in Utah

We have a 36 ft. Class A and want to leave Las Vegas NV to go to the National Parks in Utah. I am a little concerned about the mountains, I see Interstate 15 is the largest highway with smaller ones going to the National Parks. Are there a lot of mountains that might cause a problem for a motorhome. I think if we park off of Interstate 15 it might be too far to drive into the parks with a car. Also does anyone have any suggestions of some nice RV parks near the National Parks. The five parks we are interested in are Arches, Zion, Bryce
Canyon, Canyonlands, and Capitol Reef. Any help is appreciated.
Class A

    You should have no problems.
    One thing you need to know if you are towing a vehicle and are over 50 feet long you cannot go East out of Zion hooked up. We are under fifty. You can stay at Watchman Park, then stay un-hooked and go out east entrance. It is a steep switch back road. Zion/Mt Carmel tunnel
    There is a campground at entrance to Bryce, Ruby's.
    Once leaving Bryce headed east the road is pretty level two lane.

    We had no problems with a 40' coach. simply do not try going thru the tunnel in Zion national park. Brice Canyon has several good campgrounds at the entrance, and going to Zion is doable in one day by car.
