Wild camping is fine in the mountains, forests and semi-arid regions, i.e. where nobody is using the land for cultivation.
I prefer not to let people see where I camp so I only start looking very close to sunset, by which time most locals are herding their sheep and goats back to base. I then go offroad, or off piste, and stop way out of sight. You've then got about 20-25 minutes from actual sunset to almost dark to set up your camp without using a torch (which might attract guests).
If you are found by a local the next morning he might try to blag some money off you for camping on 'his land', but I never give money away to anyone who hasn't helped me in some way.
Most formal campsites in Morocco are oriented towards 'camping cars' (French for motorhome) and have rock hard ground. A freestanding tent is ideal for both very hard and very soft ground as it doesn't need pegs.
