Anytime you boondock it's good to find a spot where you can see neighbors and they can see you. With someone within eye sight and shouting distance you can get help should you need it.
You can go onto the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) website to look at the free camping locations they manage throughout the southwest.
At night or if you leave your campsite make sure anything of valuable is put away or very securely locked up. Folks have lost portable generators, bicycles, motorcycles and other items during the night or while they were away sightseeing. It's rare but it does happen.
