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.
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.
