Atlanta Survivor Camp (TV Series)

The Atlanta Survivor Camp was a base camp established at a quarry just outside the city of Atlanta near Interstate 85. It plays a major location in Season 1 of The Walking Dead (TV Series).

Pre-Apocalypse
Before the outbreak, the camp site was a nature park area that had a dense forest area, mountain cliffs which helped form a quarry, and a lake/river or bed of water. Numerous animals such as squirrels, birds, deer, and fish all live in the area living and feeding off the vegetation. The State of Georgia most likely allowed campers and hikers to use this area as a public park space to hike, camp, fish, and rock-climb the cliffs.

Post-Apocalypse
After the outbreak, all refugees headed towards the city of Atlanta for safety and protection by the military however, infected individuals also made their way to the city and completely overran the shelter and outposts. Shane and Lori saw the city was overrun and the military bombardment, they then decide to set up an outpost at the quarry just outside the city. Ed, Carol, and Sophia also joined them and helped establish the campsite. Other survivors from the city or nearby area eventually see the survivors and join them at the camp site and established a base of operations there.

They used the resources in the area to continue on their daily lives such as food, water, shelter, and safety from the infected. Andrea and her sister, Amy fished on the lake for food, Daryl hunted squirrels for food as well, the women washed the clothes using the lake/river, and Dale mentions that the mountain cliffs provide protection since they are away from the city and loud sounds would be hard to pin-point in that location due to the mountains. The Survivors however, on occasion have to make trips to the city for other supplies such as equipment, tools, and medicine.

After making so many trips to and from the city, the zombies (after running out of "food" in the city) began to make their way into more rural areas. A walker does wander into the camp and is seen eating part of a deer, later several walkers make their way into the campsite causing several casualties and several survivors were killed or bitten. Realizing that the walkers are making their way outside of the city and this location was compromised, the remaining survivors decide to flee the site and head to the CDC in Atlanta (with the exception of Morales who heads to Alabama to be with family).
