I can't recommend much about California, however, when we go up to visit the canyon from Phoenix, we always stay in a campground near Williams (Kaibab Lake) and drive up for the day (50+ miles). However, that'll be no good to you as the campgrounds in that area will be closed for the winter. Still, there might be some within the city limits that might remain open. It would be a smart call to check ahead and see what you can find. Also, watch your weather as the section of I-40 between Ashfork-Flagstaff-Winslow can get pretty hairy if it snows.
I know there are several KOA's in that area but I've never stayed at them nor do I know what their seasonal closures are (if any).
