Even in peak season, you can still have find some solitude in Coyote if you time it right. I hiked in from the Hurricane TH late April last year. I started late morning on a Sunday and passed lots of people exiting, but by the time I reached Coyote proper I only saw a handful of people all the rest of that day and just a few more the next day.
If you have time, add in a few hours for a climb up to Stevens Arch. Heading upstream from Coyote along the Escalante, once the arch is in view look for the rock fall on the right side of the river behind a vegetation on a sandbar. It's a much easier climb (and cairned in some places) than it looks to access the wide flat bench that runs along the base of the arch.
