The Dallas Morning News reported that a sign on the front door of Campo Verde indicated that the closure was only going to last a few days, but according to culturemap.com, employees have been laid off, the doors are still closed, and the phone number has been disconnected. But no one really knows why. The Dallas Morning News attempted to call the owners of Campo Verde but no one answered. And while the doors have been locked, the Christmas lights have remained on.

Campo Verde, A Christmas Paradise

Campo Verde was covered in Christmas decorations all year long, and when we say decorations, we mean every inch of the restaurant was seemingly covered in Christmas decorations. For locals and visitors, it had become a must-go tradition during the holidays as the restaurant had over 120,000 Christmas lights, 3,000 yards of garland, at least 50 Santa Claus statues, and 30 Christmas trees. And of course we can't forget about the model trains that circled the restaurant according to culturemap.

And these decorations were up all year long. A Christmas paradise for those who love Christmas any time of year. Below is a video from a few years ago giving a tour of Campo Verde.

According to the Dallas Morning News, the original owner and founder of Campo Verde sold the business in 2022. The current owner has other businesses in Louisiana.
