I've read all the beginner guides I could find and they all describe the protocol(s) if you bring a car. I was wondering what the best plan is, if our group is planning on being dropped off and picked up and not having a car. Does this happen often? Where is the best place to get dropped off and walk in? Thanks

I have no experience with this and am only guessing here, but maybe where the shuttle drops off. It could be that you won't be able to go there - if the shuttle has special access or something, but it's worth checking out.
Depending on the timing of your drop off, the person driving you could spend hours in traffic to get you close or you could end up walking a few miles. Pack accordingly.
It depends on which way you're coming and how much you are carrying. Hopefully you not carrying much or whoever is dropping you off will have to wait in traffic a while to get you close. I would recommend keeping the load to a minimum.
It you're coming down 24E from Nashville, I'd have them just drop you off at Exit 111 as the exit will likely be closed. It's about a mile from the exit down Brushy Branch to Roo. Then you can hike to Tent Only. If THP will let you, you could get dropped off across from temp Exit 112 and run across the interstate to enter Roo.
If you're coming down 24W from Chattanooga, just have them drop you off at the temp Exit 112 and hike to Tent Only.
Unless the person driving you has a ticket, you can't get dropped off inside the gate. I'm not aware of any special access for people getting dropped off. Perhaps a taxi could get in the back way, but not just somebody giving you a ride.
Forget the shuttle drop-off...the shuttle has a special entrance that gets it right inside the campground and drops next to tent-only...but there's no way you'll get in that entrance.
Get dropped off at Manchester Walmart the night before.. You'll have a good time and I guarantee you there will be plenty of ppl willing to let you guys ride in with them.

Since everyone waits in line in the shoulder before exit 112, couldn't a car going West just cruise past the line, pull over into the shoulder right after the entrance, let you out, and then you just walk right in? I think that's what I saw peeps doing last year...
