I am writing this presuming you will be on wheels and touring.
I have only stayed in one campsite in Slovakia and that was on the northside of a big lake East of Michalovce in East Slovakia,which would be handy if your going via Ukraine to Romania.It was ok but swimming pool gets quite busy with locals.
If you're cutting through Hungary;In May I was touring a bit of East Slovakia and just nipped into Hungary,back on the Slovakian side I got talking to a young Slovakian lad who reccomended a biker friendly campsite/pension in a place called Svilvasvarad in Hungary(west of Miskolc)run by a biker couple. www.magyarroute66.hu
Campsites in Slovakia are a bit thin on the ground compared to say France or Austria where you are spoilt for choice.
If you find yourself in central Slovakia about mid August,I hope to be at my house there then.So you are welcome to pitch there on your way through,just PM me and I will give you details.
Not sure about wild camping but as with everywhere if it's remote and hidden enough go for it but you may end up spending the same on fuel as you would for camping trying to find that place.You'll be surprised where locals pop up.
As for Bears,Slovakia does have them but not in the same numbers as Romania.Wild boar would be the most likely thing to come snuffling around the tent in the night which would be enough to freak me out !
