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 during Total Drama Island and Total Drama: Revenge of the Island. There are two rooms in the cabin; the first room is where the campers are served their food, and the second is the kitchen, where Chef cooks the food.

Overview
Throughout Total Drama Island and Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, the main lodge is a location for many important events surrounding the campers aside from their daily meals. It is also a spot in which some of the campers' challenges took place at.

Total Drama Island
There were many major events in the main lodge during Total Drama Island, aside from the contestants eating and discussing, and the occasional challenge taking place inside the lodge.

Beth stole chips from the main lodge for Heather, due to being in an alliance with her, in Paintball Deer Hunter. This event was what sparked their conflict and Beth's departure from the alliance later on in the episode.

Some of the challenges in The Big Sleep, If You Can't Take The Heat..., Who Can You Trust?, and Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon were featured in the mess lodge.

The three hundred-word essay challenge about Chef is completed in the main lodge in Basic Straining.

The discovery of Harold's haiku letter to Leshawna by Bridgette and Gwen was found in the mess hall in X-Treme Torture.

Brunch of Disgustingness had a boys vs. girls eating challenge, featuring all the remaining campers eating some of Chef's most disgusting meals inside the lodge.

Heather's key is hidden in Chef's fridge in Search and Do Not Destroy. Lindsay, Heather, Owen, Izzy, and DJ hide or attempted to hide there in Hide and Be Sneaky. Heather, Lindsay, and Izzy hide inside the lodge, while Owen and DJ hide on the roof.

Gwen's climactic encounter with the real killer takes place inside the main lodge. It is also where the fake psycho killer encountered Leshawna when she was trying to find food.

Total Drama: Revenge of the Island
The main lodge returns in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island. It was first seen in Ice Ice Baby where the competitors were chased out of the lodge but a mutant mouse.

In Backstabbers Ahoy!, the competitors were yet again seen eating in the lodge but once again chased out by a mutant raccoon.

In Grand Chef Auto, the remaining competitors are required to find keys hidden in the lodge that will start the go-karts.

In The Enchanted Franken-Forest, Cameron forms an alliance with Zoey to help each other to reach the finale. She also uses a fork as a makeshift slingshot and hits Chef with it.

Total Drama All-Stars
The main lodge is no longer used as the dining area for the competitors, as they are served food in their living areas. Seemingly for this reason, the main lodge looks decrepit and abandoned. In Sundae Muddy Sundae, the main lodge is one of the destinations where the remaining competitors must race in order to build their sundae. There, they have to sprinkle nuts on it while trying to avoid the newly repaired Drama Machine. The main lodge was destroyed in The Final Wreck-ening while several interns were cleaning it as the island begins to sink into the lake.

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.
