Because it’s Spring Break for Clemson, there will be no free transit options, but parking on campus will not be an issue Sat & Sun and only slightly on Monday.
Greenville/ Spartanburg airport is 45 minutes away, Atlanta and Charlotte are both 2 hours. The cost of a shuttle from GSP is very close to the cost of renting a car for 3 days and I would advise the latter.
