>I happily pay to dine out or for good beer
reads like you never been to Switzerland
because, at least I stop happily paying when a 0,5l beer goes for 8 CHF

>But was thinking it would be nice to pay for a site so I can leave my gear while I piss off around town
>but i hate paying more than $50'for lodging
if you are fine camping
not wild camping, like regular camping areas where you pay per night and have toilets / showers / communal areas
50/night is plenty anywhere in Europe for a tent, even in high season
just need to avoid a few "premium" (expensive) camp sites

if you want a (private) room, that 50€/night will only work in some parts of eastern Europe or in low season
and even then it'll be a stretch for some Regions like the nordics, southern Germany or similar
maybe you can work with private rooms in hostels, but these are more rare and not always below 50/n

if you're fine with camp sites
do you balkans bike trip
did the tour down the Adriatic coast, from Italy through croatia. montenegro, greece to Istanbul myself a few years ago
it's an incredible beautiful stretch of land

>It'll be really busy at that time
yes
it's high season everywhere
but as OP wants to do a bike tour, crowds at beaches are less of a concern
only camp site occupancy
and a lot a seasonal stuff is open that would otherwise be closed off during off-season
