Hi there,
I just returned from a 4 month ride around mexico. I traveled the Autopistas ONLY when I had to, and indeed camping in the cornfields were much more relaxing than any other option in the backroad pueblitos.
But with so many beautiful towns and citys, a decent central hotel for a few days is what broke up the backcountry riding perfectly.
Someone mentioned asking locals for places to camp. This can work great but be prepared for an inquisitive audience at the spot. Dont worry, your timing will become flawless. For me this meant exactly half way between two towns, about 1 hour before sunset. On a bike you have unlimited options for free capmping.
For me the state of Michoacan is paradise. Small population, amazing scenery, fantastic people and great roads to explore. I spent almost half my 4 months exploring this state!
Best of luck to you!
Cuidado mucho,
