bcbuoy, if it is true that you leave the Canadian National Parks to the tourists, all I can say is first, thank you, and second, I sure hope you have visited those parks yourself! We have spent many happy weeks in your wonderful parks. But you are right -- the national parks involve busy campgrounds, not as pleasant as boondocking. Very well located, though!
And Magilla, it is true that there is not much boondocking back East. On the other hand, we have flown to New England several times for bike tours during leaf season -- the rides and the fall colors are world-class, and there is nothing quite like that in California. And the seafood on the Atlantic coast is better than what we have here (although Washington and Oregon are terrific for that). So there are some great things about the East, even if it is not Boondocking Heaven.
