Camp Wawanakwa

Camp Wawanakwa is the campsite in which Total Drama Island and Total Drama: Revenge of the Island take place. It is located on an island somewhere in Muskoka, Ontario.

Located in the main camp area are two cabins, each home to the Screaming Gophers and the Killer Bass which are further divided into boys and girls, a communal bathroom, an outhouse that also serves as a confessional, and the main lodge, where the campers would meet every day for their regular meals. Just west of the main camp site is the campfire pit, where elimination ceremonies are held. The only way onto the island is by boat or plane, normally coming to rest at the Dock of Shame. Other additional landmarks include the Boathouse and the Cave. Aside from the main camp, most of the island is filled with trees and mountains, one of the most famous being the large, one thousand foot-high mountain. Surrounding the island is a large lake known as Lake Wawanakwa. On the other side of the lake is Boney Island.

The woods surrounding the camp is home to many of the recurring and particularly dangerous animals on the show, such as the bear and the Sasquatchanakwa. The camp grounds themselves are loathed by nearly all of the campers, as the cabins are filled with roaches, the food is disgusting and the bathrooms are absolutely repulsive. In order to get the campers to even arrive on the show, Chris had lied to them by saying it was a five star resort. Interestingly, on an island right next to the camp is a fancy resort known as the Playa Des Losers, to which campers would be shipped once they were eliminated from the game.

In Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, Courtney accidentally runs into a large backdrop wall of a forest. Believing the island is fake, she scales the wall and discovers that the "island" had been close to civilization and the entire camp was a set made to fool the campers into thinking it was a real island.

With the second season, Total Drama Action, taking place in an abandoned film lot, Chris leaves the camp behind. However, in the episode Beach Blanket Bogus, they return to the beach by bus (which further suggests that Camp Wawanakwa is not on an actual island) for their second and possible tie-breaker. Despite this, none of the regular landmarks of the camp were shown. The castmates return to Camp Wawanakwa once again in Crouching Courtney, Hidden Owen for their martial arts based challenges, this time the forest and one of the landmarks was shown in this episode. The castmates returned two episodes later in Top Dog; the challenge is to find a way back to the film lot with their animals while avoiding booby traps.

The island's final Total Drama Action appearance was in The Aftermath: IV. Chris and Chef Hatchet were escorted there via Lame-o-sine, due to Chris giving the driver bad directions, after rushing to try to get in the Aftermath studio.

Total Drama: Revenge of the Island takes place at Camp Wawanakwa with an eB|ntirely new cast. The camp was abandoned after Total Drama Island ended, and then transformed into a toxic nuclear waste dump full of genetically-altering toxic waste.

Trivia

 * While many hints have been given that the island is fake, there is still some debate as to what the true nature of the island is. In the special, Courtney discovers a burger joint outside of the walls of the forest. However, in Beach Blanket Bogus, Chris takes the contestants to the beach by bus. More proof that the island is false is that in Top Dog, the castmates arrived to the island by bus and that the challenge is to find a way back to the film lot, which would be impossible, since the film lot was not on an island. Finally, in The Aftermath: IV, Chef and Chris accidentally drove to Camp Wawanakwa. However, this may have been a joke to exaggerate Chris' poor navigation skills. All this may prove that Camp Wawanakwa is a false island. However, the only problem is that in several episodes, there is a full aerial view of the island (most prominently in X-Treme Torture), and it clearly depicts it as an island, with nothing more than a few smaller islands around it and no mainland nearby.
 * This is the first-ever location that the contestants arrived to in Total Drama.
 * This is the only location that is the main setting of two seasons.
 * Total Drama World Tour is the only season in which Camp Wawanakwa is not seen.
 * However, it was briefly seen in two never-before-seen clips in Aftermath: Bridgette Over Troubled Water and Aftermath: Revenge of the Telethon as well as the opening sequence.
 * This is the only place that is effected by radioactive.
 * Several previously unexplored locations on the island will be visited by the new contestants in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island. These includes:
 * A snowy mountain
 * A bayou
 * A minefield
 * The bottom of the lake
 * Coincidentally, the first camper of both generations to set foot on the island are the shortest among their peers.
