I just looked and campsites are filling up. We gotta make some reservations today or very soon. What do you guys think about sometime between Sunday May 2nd and Saturday May 8th? I need to book right away, spots are disappearing fast!

Any of those work for me, but it's better if I am home the evening of Friday May 7. I'm not sure that works out with the length of our trip, so pick the best days for the trip and I'll be there.
May 2 - 5 sounds good since it gives Sat May 1 to get out there if needed. It's a long drive to Hanksville.
Ok so the best I could do so far was reserve Friday, Sat, Sunday campsites (May 7, 8 & 9). Looking to also book either Thursday the 5th or the Monday the 9th also. This work so far? Gotta book in the next 10 minutes or I’ll lose the reservations

I purchased the campsite reservations - there was limited availability and I had to work around that to get the areas I really wanted. Here it is:
Thursday May 6 - Sunset Pass
Friday May 7 - Dollhouse 2
Saturday May 8 - Standing Rock
Sunday May 9 - Maze Overlook 2
* 3 vehicles and 9 person limit per permit - I wasn’t sure if we could have more vehicles but it appears 3 is the limit. Although Jim and Paul were first to jump in, Paul wasn’t able to commit for sure and Trent jumped in. I don’t wanna cut anyone out but at the same time, the permit rules allow only 3 vehicles. I paid $36 for 2 reservations (they must limit 3 nights/permit). I’m covering these permits, anyone else who wants to join will have to secure their own permits.

Whatever days your get will be fine. We wanted 4 days on the trail in the park area, right? I'd vote Thursday instead of Monday.
I just have one permit per campsite so only 3 vehicles. I don’t need anyone to pitch in, I got it covered.

Sounds like my choice has been made for me, have fun Trent! That's my wife's birthday week, I think we may be on a beach anyway...

It's all good, my vision for the Maze is more of a hiking trip than a wheeling one, I was just jumping in because it came up. Looking forward to the trip report!
From the listing of campsites, this is the route it looks like Matt has in mind (start and end is Hanksville for fuel - traveling counter-clockwise):

At the end of the trip, where we will decide (38.588217385599265, -110.55629001183539) what direction for fuel, it's either 20 miles south to Hanksville or 36 miles north to just west of Green River.
Dollhouse -#2 — 38.158822, -109.945044
Maze Overlook #2 — 38.232841, -110.005068
Jim, yes looks very close to the above what I got. I’m bringing at least 10 gallons of extra gas just in case - if you guys each bring 5 we should be more than fine!

Matt, what's your general thought for the trip?
1) Drive from site to site, sure!
2) Any short / long sites or attractions to be seen?
3) Take it easy and kick about the campsite and in general relax?
