If you're craving a nostalgic experience with a modern twist, look no further than The Teepee Drive-In in Sapulpa, Oklahoma.

The Teepee Drive-In first opened its doors in 1950, becoming a beloved spot for moviegoers in the heart of Oklahoma. Like many drive-ins across the country, it faced challenges as the years went by, but today it’s been revitalized and is bigger, brighter, and more fun than ever.
The drive-in has retained its vintage charm while incorporating modern amenities to create a truly unique experience. Whether you’re a fan of classic cinema or just love the idea of watching a movie under the stars, The Teepee Drive-In offers a one-of-a-kind night out.
What sets The Teepee Drive-In apart from other movie theaters is the opportunity to stay overnight in one of their authentic 1950s Spartan trailers. Manufactured in Tulsa and parked right on the drive-in lot, these trailers are a rare find that combines history with comfort.
Each trailer is fully equipped with everything you need for a relaxing night: a queen-sized bed, a private full bathroom, a kitchenette, and a cozy living area. The trailers are air-conditioned for those warm Oklahoma nights, and WiFi is available if you need to stay connected.
But the real highlight of your stay is the free movie included with your booking. After enjoying a night of films and snacks, you can retire to your retro trailer, where you can tune into the movie audio with the provided radios. It’s the perfect blend of camping and cinema, all with a nostalgic flair that’s hard to find these days.
At The Teepee Drive-In, Wednesdays are dedicated to accessibility, offering affordable $10 carloads, $2 hot dogs, and Open Caption screenings to ensure everyone can enjoy the experience.
