An outside view of the 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 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, as well as the Campbell Family Library underneath a hidden trapdoor.

Campbell Family Library

The Campbell Family Library was visited in 6.18 Frontierland when Sam, Dean, and Bobby were searching for a way to kill the Mother of All. Sam knew it's location was underneath Samuel's desk, showing his memories from his time without a soul were coming back to him. Samuel collected the components of library himself.

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 searches through the library to find out how to locate a phoenix to wound the Mother of All.

Other books

Sam, Dean, and Bobby search through many other books in the library in 6.18 Frontierland, including books appearing to contain a resurrection spell and a book referencing that the ashes of a phoenix can wound the Mother of All.

Episodes

Sam and Dean in the Campbells' panic room.

While on the run with a baby shapeshifter, Sam persuades Dean that they need the help of the Campbells in deciding what to do. The brothers drive to the compound and are allowed through the gate by guards. Later, when the Alpha Shapeshifter attacks, they retreat with the baby to the compound's panic room. However, the shapeshifter is undeterred, and rips out the door of the room to take the baby.

On the phone with Sam, Dean says that he will be at the "Campbell base" in ten hours, but Sam redirects him to Easter, Pennsylvania.

After determining that Sam has been resurrected without his soul, the Winchesters go to the Campbell Compound to speak with Samuel Campbell. When they enter the main building, they see a number of people engaged in preparations for hunting. They go to Samuel's office, where Castiel appears and reads Samuel's soul, determining that it is intact. The Winchesters remain at the compound to join an upcoming Campbell raid on the Alpha Vampire and to spy on their grandfather. Dean attempts to break into Samuel's locked office with his lock picks, but is interrupted by Christian Campbell before he can search it. Later, after Samuel captures the Alpha, he hides it in a warehouse location separate from the compound. Sam and Dean follow him from the compound to this satellite holding area using his cellphone's GPS.
