Campbell Compound
First shown in 6.02 Two and a Half Men, this appears to be a secure base of operations for the Campbell family. It is located in Lansing, Michigan, and is surrounded by a chain link fence with a gate across the road. The fence and gate are topped with barbed wire. The main building has corrugated metal walls and is full of a variety of weapons and supplies. It also contains a small kitchen area and various furniture, such as tables, chairs, and shelves. Underneath the compound building is an unfurnished panic room with steel walls and a devil's trap on the floor. Also under the compound building is the Campbell family library, accessed by a hidden trapdoor in Samuel's study.

Campbell Family Library

 The wall of portraits in the Campbell family library, as seen in 6.18 Frontierland. |
The Campbell family library is visited in 6.18 Frontierland when Sam, Dean, and Bobby are searching for a way to kill Eve. Sam seems to remember its location, hidden underneath Samuel's desk, from memories of his time without a soul. It is likely that Samuel collected the components of the library himself. In addition to shelves of books, a filing cabinet, desks, chairs, and a lamp, there is a wall of old portraits, possibly of the Campbell family. Its contents are presumably taken by Dean, Sam and Bobby as Bobby has at least one of the Campbell family journals in 6.21 Let It Bleed.
Samuel's Grandfather's Journal
This book is first shown in 6.05 Live Free or Twihard, but Samuel had told Sam about its contents during the year Dean spent with Lisa after the Apocalypse. Samuel retrieves the book to get the recipe for the cure for vampirism.
Samuel Colt's Journal from 1860
This book is first shown in 6.18 Frontierland, when Dean, Sam, and Bobby search the library for a way to kill Eve. Dean finds the journal and reads a passage about Samuel Colt killing a phoenix.
Other Books
Sam, Dean, and Bobby search through many other books in the library in 6.18 Frontierland, including one that appears to contain a resurrection spell. Bobby also finds a book that says the ashes of a phoenix can wound Eve.
