Boomerville: Glamping at its finest
Why rough it when you can glamp it? This year, Boomerfest is proud to introduce Boomerville — a luxurious yurt experience provided by VIP YURTS LLC. Just imagine it: Instead of hauling all that heavy camping gear around and fiddling with tent poles, you can simply show up with a suitcase and a cooler for a full weekend of fun.
Boomerville glampers will enjoy over 210 square feet of space in their private, waterproof, windproof yurts, complete with an incredible sky-view ceiling. You can choose an unfurnished yurt and bring your own bedding, or you can rent a fully-furnished yurt with beds, sheets, blankets, pillows, chairs, a rug and a lantern. Each yurt includes six event passes and camping fees, making it a hassle-free way to enjoy the festival in style.
