That night while Dean slept, the marauders who had discovered the bodies of their slain men and those of their collaborators inside Paradise Falls, returned to their camp outside the residential area.
The camp was established to minimize visibility from the outside world. It mostly consisted of extreme cold weather rated tents designed for arctic expeditions. Along with a sheltered mess area.

The largest downside to this design would be the sheer amount of smoke the heaters shot through their chimneys and into the air above.
