Main lodge

The Main Lodge, also known as the "Mess Hall," is the cabin where the meals are served at Camp Wawanakwa by Chef Hatchet. There are two rooms in the cabin, one where the campers are served their food, and the other being the kitchen where Chef cooks the food.

Interior
The interior of the first room in the main lodge consists of two long tables (one with a tablecloth and one without), and twenty-two tree stumps that serve as seats for the campers. Across from the tables is a window that outlooks into the kitchen where the campers take their trays to receive their meal from Chef, who normally stands behind the counter. To the right of the window is a saloon swing door, leading to the kitchen.

At the far end of the cabin is a fireplace complete with mounted deer antlers above it. Chef refers to the kitchen as his domain. The kitchen consists of a couple of sinks, an oven, a freezer, and a back door leading out of it. In later episodes, there is also a table in the kitchen.

In Total Drama Action, the location has many of its significant features change because of the new season and the main lodge is no exception. It is replaced with the Craft Services Tent.

Like all of the other major features of Camp Wawanakwa, the main lodge returned in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island. In Grand Chef Auto, the challenge involves finding keys in Chef's kitchen that will start the go-karts.
