DigiHitch has an [http://www.digihitch.com/article42.html article] on sleeping near the highway (not necessarily with a tent).

Hospitality exchange networks require a bit more planning, but are '''very''' valuable tools for traveling. Sometimes there are [http://couchsurfing.com/meetings.html meetings] and [http://secure.hospitalityclub.org/hc/forum.php?SelectedCategory=42 gatherings] of tens, or even hundreds of hospitality exchange members. If you go there you'll surely get a place to sleep!

The best way to find the cheapest hostel in town and to see wether they have any free beds, is probably [http://www.hostelworld.com/ hostelworld]. You can actually book your beds very short time in advance (1 hour works fine) with no extra fee.

It is sometimes possible to work for few hours in exchange of a bed.
