What you're referring to is called stealth camping. There's a lot of content on it on YouTube and elsewhere.
Personally, I've never
really done it. I stay in campgrounds and get a motel room once a week or so.
But I have just stopped and slept in some pretty public places, such as picnic tables on bike paths or outside gas stations, when it gets too late and I can't or don't want to be bothered to find a campground or motel.
Also, crossing the desert, I've just rolled out off the road, out of sight and wild camped, which is allowed on most federal land.
