Zion (where Bryce Canyon is) is right on the way, and you can run North through Salt Lake City into Yellowstone if you have time for the detour.

In National Forests, you can camp anywhere not already in use by cattle 
grazers.
In National Parks, you have to camp in designated campsites.   There is 
usually a $5 per night fee.
Often it is on an honor system.  You place your $5 in an envelope and 
slide it into a metal box.
