Look around the Kanab, Utah area. There are several private campgrounds there and it's a good location to "home base" for both Zion and Bryce Canyon. We stayed at the "Crazy Horse RV Campark" a couple of years ago and it worked fine as a centralized place w/full hook-ups. Zion is about 40 minutes away and Bryce is about 90 minutes. Best Friends Animal Sanctuary is 5 miles north of town and worth a few hours to take a tour. Utah's Coral Pink Sand Dunes State Park is also about 5 miles north of Kanab and is a very interesting place to visit as well.
If you want to spend a couple of days close to Bryce check out the US Forest Service Red Canyon Campground. No hook-ups but there is a dump station.
St George, Utah is also a pretty good place to park but it's a bit further away from Zion (about an hour) and Bryce (about 2.5 hours). Nevada's Valley of Fire State Park is about 1.5 hours away and well worth a day. Also, there are several campgrounds on the north west side of Lake Mead. We spent a week in this area in April of 2016.
We haven't been in these areas that late in the season but given the elevation - Bryce is over 8000' (I just looked at a picture of my daughter next to a sign showing 8819' elevation) - I'm guessing it may be on the cool to cold side of things. Check out the Park web pages on the nps.gov site - they should have some details about what the average weather conditions are that time of year.
It's a fabulous area and there are a lot of things to see for sure. We make at least one, sometimes two trips down there each season.
