At least on the western US finding boondocking spots isn't hard. Often you can find that amazing view to enjoy during the day and it's ok to stay the night.

Campedium
Allstays
Harvest Hosts
are all ways we find nice spots to overnight.
I think we will add boondocks welcome when we get back on the road.
I agree, if you are looking for a spot to camp and stay all day, these are great alternative. My point is that campgrounds (if you can get them) rarely compare to the day spots that allow no camping. So my strategy is to grab these incredible day spots in national and state parks, beaches, or lakes, and not worry about the view from where I sleep.
Sometimes you do score that perfect campground, but I always score that perfect day spot by being first in the morning.
