Griffin County is a rural county just outside of the city of Savannah near the town of Rayford where the Dark Carnival campaign takes place in Left 4 Dead 2.

History
This county is located in a rural sub-urban area outside the town of Rayford in the state of Georgia. It is an open grass county filled with foilage and has a gorge/ridge with a small creek that runs through it. There is also the main interstate highway where busy cars and trucks would drive to and from Savannah, Atlanta, and Rayford (to the Rayford Port for shipping). The main tourist attraction in the area is the Whispering Oaks Amusement Park along with the Whispering Oaks Motel where tourists can spend the night.

Current Status
When the infection took over Savannah, CEDA moved and set up an evacuation center at the Whispering Oaks Amusement Park's Peach Pit Stadium. Interstate #16 was used by refugees fleeing Savannah and Rayford trying to get to the evacuation center however, due to the large numbers of vehicles streaming out of the two cities, the highway quickly became gridlocked, and those stuck in the traffic jam were sitting ducks for the Infected. Further up the highway, several sleeping bags and discarded suitcases can be seen lying on the road, most likley belonging to people who had left their cars and slept on the road as they could drive no further due to the traffic jam. CEDA had the military set up a checkpoint at the Whispering Oaks Motel where they blocked the highway and destroyed the bridge which forced civilians to proceed through the checkpoint where they maintained control and protected the refugees from the infection however, the soldiers there were also killed by the infected.

The survivors have escaped Rayford with the help from the original survivors and arrived to a vehicle jammed highway. Since they cannot drive their Jimmy Gibbs Jr. stock car past the vehicles to the Whispering Oaks Amusement Park evac site, they abandon it and proceed on foot. They pass by several abandon cars, trucks, and buses and exit the highway and take the off ramp heading towards the Whispering Oaks Motel. They search the motel rooms for supplies and navigate their way around to get past the barricaded road and down the ridge to the creek below. Once they pass through the water, they head back up the hill and arrive at the front entrance of the Whispering Oaks Amusement Park.
