I know when I traveled throughout the UK a couple of years ago, our group stayed exclusively in hostels and I loved it! They were so inexpensive, and we were spending very little time in our rooms. After all, the purpose of our trip was to see the sights, not spend hours in our lodgings! So I cared very little if I had to sleep in a bunk bed, though I did find it a bit disconcerting sleeping with strangers in the same room.

Still, if you don’t mind cooking your own meals (or eating out elsewhere) and you’re not looking for luxurious accommodations, I think hostels can be a great alternative.

I also love camping, provided I can find a decent campground, that is safe, clean, and has flush toilets!
