This is my first Bonaroo, and after MUCH research and discussion have decided that the motel and day parking is the better way to go for our particular needs.
However, I am wondering if it's possible to set up a "home base" tent in the camping area with a cooler and a couple of chairs.
Not knowing the entry process, would they allow you to day park, then hike camping gear (small tent, couple of folding chairs, small cooler) over to the camping area. Would it even be worth it?
If you day park, do they let you in with a cooler?

You can come in with a cooler into day parking
IIRC, you are not supposed to leave your car overnight in day parking, but I've never heard of them actually enforcing this.
I suppose you could technically attempt to get your tent over to tent only, but tent only fills up really quickly, like on Wednesday, so logistically this might be difficult. Not to mention you would also be taking a spot from someone who really needs that tent only spot to sleep at, so this is probably not a good idea.
Regular camping is supposed to be next to your car in the regular camp grounds. Not sure how how they would feel about you just walking up to a spot and plopping your tent down with no car.
What you could do, I think, is park in day parking, then just setup a home base there, so long as its simple. Chairs, cooler, etc. If you start setting up an ez-up and tents someone might say something to you. Day parking is a decent hike from centeroo, but not that bad.
For me I day park and spend all day in centeroo. Since I'm fresh from staying in the hotel I don't feel a need to return to my car for rest.

just another quick thought: if your primary concern is being able to duck out of centeroo for beverages and what not, maybe you could make friends with a camp on the way to centeroo? say hey if I leave my ice chest here yall can grab a few beverages so long as I can chill here sometime during the day? just a thought.
Let me know
