It can be hit and miss re needing to reserve a hotel ahead of time.  There can be a lot of off road and classic car events so when those occur you have to reserve a room well ahead of time.  There are also some private campgrounds in the area or you can also consider staying in Canyonlands NP.  I stayed in Canyonlands and it was great.  Got a backcountry campsite for almost a week with my wife off of the White Rim Trail and we probably only saw 1-2 other trucks per day.

Also, I think August will likely be brutally hot.

www.traildamage.com will have good maps and stuff steel bender is a real fun one just try and bypass one section is what ive heard(take a right at the top of a hill instead of a left lol) , we bypassed it last year cause i guess it makes the trail very long and you dont get to do much
here ya go start where it says steel bender then keep right so you dont go on that loop
