My favorite way to find new boondocking sites before I head to the area is Google Earth. I can find likely areas by looking at a variety of maps. Then I use Google Earth to zoom into promising looking areas. I look for openings in the vegetation, and tracks or small roads into the area I'm thinking about setting up camp. It really helps if I'm looking at an area and see other RVs dispersed in the woods.
Some areas allow dispersed camping in the forest and some don't. It's actually quite easy to go to the website for the particular national forest you're interested in and check out the policies. You can find out about camping, fires, wildlife, fishing, etc.
