ThIs is a topic that doesn't come up very much but it is a very real concern.
I have overnighted in Wal Mart and Cracker Barrel. I tend to scope them out and if they are too busy or too urban I have decided to move on. There is no foolproof safe way to handle the knock a dark 30 other than to leave. Or don't answer. Driving Away is not such an easy option if you are in a towable RV
Either way you are disturbed and awaken.
I travel with Doberman security at all times. He does not like to be awaken either. He will, let anyone on the otherside know he is there and ready for anything. I'm not fearful, but I do not want a late night encounter with anyone for any reason.
For me this unfortunately is one of the downsides of Wally docking. What you gain in easy access convenience you may sacrifice in security and just plain nonsense.
While I still Wally Dock when necessary, I have come to prefer easy access CG's when available. The chances of a late night knock are reduced considerably at a CG.
