Oklahoma Just Broke Ground On Its First New Theme Park And Campground Since 1958

Amid Oklahoma’s diverse landscapes and rich cultural history, the state is gearing up to usher in its first major theme park and campground in over sixty years. The groundbreaking American Heartland Theme Park and Resort, a visionary $2 billion initiative, includes the revolutionary Three Ponies RV Park & Campground near Vinita, already underway since breaking ground in October 2023 and poised to be a cornerstone in this monumental development. With the last major amusement park dating back to 1958, the imminent arrival of American Heartland marks a historic juncture, offering more than just a recreational haven but a transformative experience for the projected 4.9 million annual visitors converging on Oklahoma’s latest gem.

The American Heartland Theme Park and Resort is a major entertainment destination development in northeast Oklahoma, featuring a theme park, resort, and a large-scale RV park with cabins. The first phase, Three Ponies, is set to open in 2025 and the theme park will follow in 2026.

With its substantial 1,000-acre footprint, this ambitious project aims to redefine leisure experiences in the heart of America, offering an unparalleled blend of attractions, accommodations, and natural surroundings.

Located near Vinita, just off Historic Route 66 and Interstate 44, Three Ponies RV Park & Campground spans 320 acres and promises a haven for nature enthusiasts and avid campers. With a relaxing atmosphere and an array of amenities, it's destined to become the largest campground in the central U.S.

At the heart of Three Ponies lies The Clubhouse, a café/bar offering table service both indoors and outdoors. Guests can enjoy pick-up service options or even swim up to the counter to place their orders, creating a unique dining experience that blends convenience with leisure.

There will also be the Frontier Hall Dinner Show, a culinary and entertainment extravaganza that promises an all-you-can-eat family-style feast. Before the show, guests can purchase beer, wine, and soft drinks in the pre-show area. Once the dinner bell rings, patrons will be escorted to their tables, where a captivating show unfolds.

Three Ponies RV Park & Campground will have 300 cabins, each meticulously designed with modern kitchens, a queen bed, bunk beds, and various options accommodating up to five people.

This idyllic retreat will not only provide a scenic escape but also promises a blend of entertainment and relaxation.

As the American Heartland Theme Park and Resort unfolds, it not only promises to be a beacon for entertainment but also a testament to the vibrant future of leisure in Oklahoma, inviting visitors to embark on an unforgettable journey through its expansive landscapes and captivating attractions.
