Its my first Roo and im ready..Im comin from NY and goin to end up goin north/west on 24 to get into the venue.. -Wat is every1s opinion on a time to arrive at the venue so we dont have to get re-routed ? (We wana have a decent camp site and not to far from centeroo as every1 else im sure. lol) - Whats a good campin area to b in? -ideal time to arrive to get a decent campin spot? - and wat r the worst campin sections people have experienced? Im soo stoked for my first Roo just wana find out a few details so we dont end up walking 30 40 mins to Centeroo.. Thanks for all the input
I've been four times. Where you get camped at is a total crapshoot. Here's my theory, though: If you get there Wednesday night you'll almost certainly be camped in the Southeast corner of the site. Not ideal at all, as you have to walk all the way around VIP to get in. On the other hand, there's not much of a line to get in compared to Thursday afternoon.
If you get there Thursday afternoon, like around noon or after, there's a good chance you'll be redirected off I-24 to the back entrance from Bushy Branch Rd. This will almost guarantee you a campsite at the far north of the grounds, a loooong way from Centeroo.
So, my advice would be:
A) get there early Thursday, anywhere from 5 a.m. - 10 a.m. B) if you do get a shitty campsite, trek all of your stuff to Tent Only (if it's not already filled up)
This will be my 3rd Roo WOOT! First year we got there about 7am and had a RAD camping spot 10 minutes from Centeroo (but waited 5hrs to get in). Last year showed up about the same time, got redirected. No wait at the gates, maybe 15 minutes to open the campground or something, and then got camped 30 minutes away from Centeroo. Total crap shoot! The thing is once you are there nothing really matters that much. You are going to have an AMAZING time once inside no matter what the waiting or camping arrangements are! I can't wait to get to the farm!

There is only one main exit, all others are blocked off. I've gotten to the line the last 2 yrs around 9-10 and waited no more than 45 min each time, as said before its a total crapshoot. From what I hear waiting in line isn't as bad as it sounds, funny shit happens everywhere.

Here is a Bonnaroo secret. Some people don't arrive in cars. If you hate your spot just pick all your crap up and walk with a purpose. get somewhere towards the front find an awesome spot and camp. This is my 4th and on two occasions I have just moved my crap right on the other side of the main stage. If not. ask where to go if you flew in and took a cab from Nashville. It will confuse the workers and then tell them you will take care of it. they will be so relieved for you not to be a problem they will happily let you camp just about anywhere. Enjoy your first Bonnaroo. Drink Water and pace yourself.

There is so much to do. Try to minimize your sitting around waiting for music time by seeing some of the small acts You can get great seats anytime for all but the main Stage. Get to the main stage 35-45 mins early If they let you in. You should get an awesome spot. Try to find a land mark if you are with friends like a food booth or a cart vendor cause once you lose sight of them you will have a time getting back to your spot.
