Many of the pull outs are very noisy all night, with the heavy truck traffic coming and going. You might find a Kenworth idling four feet away from your bed for several hours, while the driver gets some sleep. Many of the pull outs also have out houses with people pulling in to use at all hours of the day and night.
I have a personal "5 mile" rule that I don't use any boondock spot within 5 miles of a community. Too often these are used as a turn around spot for the local teenagers, out cruising the roads. Mischief makers are no different in the north than anywhere else from what I have seen.
You might find yourself blocked in, when you decide to leave the next morning, but that will only be for a few hours, most likely.
There are usually plenty of impromptu camping areas along the creeks, rivers, lakes, unused gravel pits, etc. Highway pull outs would be my choice only in a case of desperation, i.e. vehicle troubles, health issues, etc. But I tend to see many RVs pulled into the pull offs and set up for the night in late afternoon.
