Boondocking anywhere has inherent risks. I do think, however, you are safer at someone's residence than just out who knows where. Of course, the boondocker host may be nuts, but they are equally taking a chance that whomever is boondocking on their property could be nuts, too. But just picking a spot, say in remote Forest Service or BLM land you are particularly vulnerable, and even Walmart or a rest area can be risky.
I looked at boondockerswelcome.com but found it to not be workable. Many hosts could not accommodate but small rigs, required advance notification, and were subject to zoning and HOA restrictions. Many did not allow grills, outside chairs, generators, and had no hook ups.
I found Harvest Hosts to be far superior. These are wineries, farms, and small businesses that welcome overnighters with the anticipation they will make a purchase. These businesses often have hook ups or other facilities for RVs. The whole concept is much better.
