Missouri has a lot of boondocking areas. Lots of National Forest in the southern portion of the state, which is the prettier part of the state as well, IMHO.
The Missouri Dept. of Conservation has a lot of conservation areas through out the state and many of them allow overnight camping. Here is a link to the Conservation Dept. Atlas. You'll just have to figure out where you are going to be and then check the areas in the counties you will be in to see which ones provide overnight camping. All of the conservation area are unimproved but offer some nice boondocking opportunities.

There are also lots of Corp lakes in Missouri, where the camping is not free, but very reasonably priced.
Kansas has lots of fishing lakes that allow free camping. Here is a link to a fellow's blog who lives in Kansas and has suggestions on camping areas there.
