yeah, i arrived right off the exit fromt he highway. It like turned right, then like a uturn, right all the way up busy branch. then the entrance gates. But we had to wait in about, id' say an hour an a half before we were driving past centeroo this was thursday morn. 6am
Oh, and does where you come in (ie Highway or Bushy Branch) have an impact at all of whether you get placed in BFE or not?
I've found getting off at the temporary exit (#112) off I-24 West is best. You can still get BFE but it seems less likely. But there is no access from I-24 East.
Exit 111 (Brushy Branch) is a crap shoot (example: My sister and I came in that way in '04. We were a few cars apart and not staying together. I ended up in Camp Clubber Lang 2 minutes from Centeroo. She was way in back of BFE across the bridge (about an hour walk.)

hrrrmmm... we ended up parked last year in a campsite just north and a little ways east of the scary pond/lake bfe section (the upper east region of the maP). I am not sure what way we ended up entering bonnaroo. we got off exit 114 to get to the walmart. When we left the walmart, we were sent many different directions. We wound up "in line" at i guess 8 am and we were setting up camp around 1pm
Does getting in Early Thursday make any different impact if you intend on going to Tent Only? I plan on arriving EARLY Thursday, parking, and getting in line for Tent Only as soon as possible.

You only go over to Tent Only after tell you where to park. Getting there early on Thursday would probably mean a medium walk (about 20 to 30 minutes, I guess) to Centeroo, so it's going to be a little less than that for Tent Only. Keep in mind that Tent Only is much closer than wherever they'll park you, but you have to lug all of your stuff there. They usually don't even open the Tent Only section until the sun comes up on Thursday, but it sounds like you'd be getting there after that so you'll be all good.

from my experience, getting there early is a pretty bad idea. i don't remember where we parked in 02, but we were super pumped in 03 a drove down on wed morning. After the gates opened they put us way out in BFE. On the map above it was the far bottom right (to the right of the stages). The one benefit was that it was really quick leaving. To the south of the 'roo property is a family farm. They cut down their fence and charged $10 to drive through the fields to the highway. Best $10 i spent in a while, it was like a 5-10 minute drive to the highway, and no waiting in line! In 04 we showed up on friday morning and got an awesome spot, only a 10 minute walk to centeroo.

Ok, so if i'm coming from the direction of nashville (on i24 south), how do i get into the lineup for exit 112?
I usually get sent on a long-ass country drive to bfe via bushy branch (exit 127?)...
If your coming from Nashville you have to pass Exit 112, make a U-turn and come back. The problem is they usually closed the exits so you can't do this.
You can try and find some backroads to get you to Exit 114 and get on back towards Nash and exit at 112.

I was camped about five minutes from Centeroo last year and my caravan rolled in around noon or a lil before on Thursday. We couldn't figure it out exactly but we were either in Camp Chewbacca or Camp Lando Calrissian if you want to look it up in yoru guides from last year. Anywho, I'm hoping to be no more than ten minutes of a walk to the show. Makes it nice if you want to run back quickly in between shows and grab something from your camp or see if anyone else in your group is down to head to a show.
