I know this is a very broad question but is there any sort of consensus as to whether I can just ride around and look for a place to stay in the early afternoon and be able to find one 90% of the time? I can camp and look forward to doing so but really want to just cruise around in a connect the dots manner from Greecte to Italy to France to Spain and Portugal and ideally find an inexpensive hotel whenever I show up. There will be times on a weekend for example where I'll know about where I'll be and I'll make that reservation a few days ahead of time but other than that I want to just go where the road takes me.

As an example, I would tell someone visiting the US they can likely find a room without issue in April, May and early June. June will transition once kids are out of school but unless you are in a town where there is a major event going on you should still be able to find a room. Sure right now in Florida near any beach will be tough due to spring break but that is the type of example I am looking for in Europe. Vague I know but I need to start somewhere.

Thanks.

I've used booking.com throughout Europe and SE Asia with good luck at finding last minute, inexpensive accommodations.

You can add airbnb to the list of sites to check.

Hi NC....
As everyone has said...you should not have any problems really. I motorcycle, walk and cycle all over Europe and the app that I've found most useful is Archies Campings. There is a website at Archiescampings or you can track it down on app store. I have found that it is very rare to come across a website that is not on there. If you add to that google a campsite near me and you're pretty much covered. I've found that if you keep things respectful you can also get away with a lot of free wild camping. Add to these Booking.com and google accompodation near me or Airbnb and you're sorted mate..!! So relax and have a great time....cheers...Barney.
