Youth Hosteling Everywhere in Europe

Let's pretend I would like to never camp in Spain, France, Germany, and the Benelux Nations. I think that theoretically, it is possible. But I'm wondering if there is some hidden problem other than sticking to an onerous, rigid schedule. I'm thinking about a whole month! I have only hosteled three nights in Scotland, it was secure and very enjoyable, there was always a dedicated locked space for bikes. But I know this is not always the case. I did have my credit card info stolen at one Scottish hostel, though, and I have had three bikes stolen over my many years of riding. Spain is really just a faint possibility. Not being able to camp might be just as pernicious as always camping! In my mind I am headed mainly to the countryside, with only a very few cities. I would love to hear your real-world experiences.
