Not being sexist, just real.
Never heard of couchsurfing or warmshowers until I was halfway across country but next trip will definitely sign up with them.
I'd be surprised if that's true.
AFAIK state/Fed campgrounds have fixed rates & private campgrounds would seem to have little incentive to offer special discounts to bikers when nearest alternative campground is perhaps 50 km away & females are even less likely to consider stealth option.
