I didn't camp. And yes, we got in on Thursday. Granted, we had to wait in line with everyone else camping, but contrary to popular belief, day parking is open all 4 days. It's just a pain to get in on Thursday and sometimes Friday too, since you're waiting on everyone else getting all of their gear for the weekend checked, and there's no express lane for day parking or anything.
When we pulled into day parking on Thursday there were only about 10-20 other cars there, so it seems most people still aren't clear that it's available then. Even some of the staff seem bewildered, based on the confusion we got from some of them, but keep asking and eventually someone will point you to it.

We left after Passion Pit, so I guess that was 12:15ish. Not counting the walk back to day parking, it didn't take us any time to get out. We just pulled out of parking, turned out for the gate and left. There was no waiting in line or anything, though we did go slow for a little bit to let people walking get out of the way.
Some Bonnaroo staffer stopped us on the way out acting all self-righteous like he was going to save someone. I rolled down my window and he asked "What are you trying to accomplish here?" I gave him a confused look and pointed to the gate. "We're leaving." He looked dumbfounded and disappointed that he wasn't going to get to correct someone and then said "Oh, okay... just go that way then..."
Other than that, it was probably less than 5 minutes from the time we got into my car until the time that we were crossing over the interstate. They did route us down Powers Rd., through the neighborhood over there, since traffic was still two lane coming in beyond that point.
As for parking off site then walking in, I did that last year. It is a little longer of a walk, but you won't have to wait in any lines. I parked on the street on Walnut Ln in that same neighborhood, then walked in. I was slightly worried someone might get mad at me for parking there, but my truck was fine when I got back. A couple of others had parked there by the time I left that night.
