We boondock in as many locations as we can. We'll often park the trailer for a week and just venture out in all directions for hiking, biking, fishing, sightseeing. Nothing like camping somewhere that the nearest person is three or four miles away -- ahhh, the quiet. And at night, it is so dark yet the sky is lit with more stars than you can imagine.
I freely give of my information on the various places we have visited and CG's we have stay in, but I'm quite secretive about our favorite boondocking locations!
We take our TT to some dirt track auto races in PA or OH. In fact, that is the only way DH's family used to camp. They had a MH that never saw a campground the whole time they owned it! We primarily camp in state parks, but the races make for a nice weekend. We are planning a trip to the races with some friends this weekend. Should be about 5 or more campers/motorhomes.
We've never boondocked and really, it just doesn't interest the family.
State parks are a great getaway. We also like amusement parks like Carowinds, Kings Dominion, and Busch Gardens. Of course, Fort Wilderness is the best.

Not sure what you mean by "traditional" camping in resorts, campgrounds. Resorts and campgrounds are two different things, and RVing for me is something different than camping, which I also do.
I like taking my RV to state park campgrounds and USACE recreational access areas, both of which accommodate campers as well as RVers. My less traditional places to stay in the RV would include my daughter's driveway and the church parking lot across from my mother's house.
For my camping, it is just the campgrounds. I have also put up a tent in the paddock of an automobile racing venue.
We love national forests, national parks, Corps of Engineers campgrounds, state parks, and camping at my sisters and mom's homes in Florida. Mom and two of my sisters have 5 rural acres each, so it sure makes visiting family more fun -- and a lot less hassle.
We were at Juniper Springs in the Ocala National Forest (FL) last month. We didn't realize they didn't have hookups until we were already there. We did fine on our batteries for four days, so that took away our concerns about how we would fare boondocking.
Someday I would like to travel out West where boondocking opportunities abound. You do have to be pretty creative to find them here in the Southeast.
