Camp Dunlap
During WWII, the US Marine Corps set up a base in the California Imperial Valley desert which stretched across 630 acres. They named it Camp Dunlap. In the 1950s, it was closed for good. Eventually, people began flocking to the area to set up “homes”. Trailers, RVs, you name it – they set up camp on multiple concrete slabs which is why the area ended up with a brand new name: “Slab City”.

Wünsdorf
Another swimming pool that was part of a military base, this one has been completely drained and abandoned along with the rest of the place. This military camp was called Wünsdorf. It’s said to be the largest Soviet military base outside of Russia, which says a lot. While this photo looks pretty bleak, the pool must have been pretty magnificent back in its heyday.
