It's hard to call federal lands "boondocking heaven" when they are clamping down on dispersed camping, you have to carefully examine MVUMs to see where you can go, and all of that.
My dad used to talk (in the 60s and 70s) about how "federal" land meant "our" land, and how it was ours to use and enjoy. But nowadays on much of it, we are no longer permitted to use or enjoy it.
It would be nice if you could provide specific instances where stealth or boondocking has negatively changed in the last few years on public federal lands outside of specific protected areas like wildnerness areas. I live in Nevada and cannot think of any negative camping issues in the stealth/boondocking mode on federal lands that have changed in the last 30 or 40 years. On the other hand we have probably the newest national park for all to enjoy with new camping opportunites. It is also one of the least visited so having a great place to enjoy without the crowds can be very enjoyable. Recently Death Valley's designation has changed from a monument to a park for more to enjoy the uniqueness of the valley without worrying about disturbing a rock or sand dune. That means you can now drive 4x4's 'off road' and camp dispursed in more places.
Camp on!!!!
