You also have to consider that the gods do care for their children. Even if they left camp to form their own, I'm sure the gods would do something to protect them. I mean technically if it weren't for Terminus, Camp Jupiter really wouldn't have any defenses at all (besides the Legion of course). Even though Terminus is shown blocking projectiles during the battle at Camp Jupiter, He really didn't do that much to stop the Gorgons or any other monster. Camp Half-Blood also didn't really have anything before Thalia's tree, relying on the Bronze Dragon to guard the borders. I think it is mentioned that they did have some kind of magic barrier, but it wasn't very strong. My point is that they could find ways to protect themselves with or without godly help
