Cheers David - particularly in the east, we did a lot of home stays. On the occasions that we stayed in hotels we found we had to always ask multiple hotels before we found one that would take us - we were told it was because they were fully booked, but we highly doubted this. We suspected the reality was that most hotels could not be bothered with (or not allowed to) the beaurocracy that goes with hosting foreigners. When we were under police escort in politically sensitive areas we were escorted to a hotel of the police's choice - we didn't get a say in the matter. Generally, I would advise against free camping for security reasons
