Main lodge

The Main Lodge, also known as the Mess Hall, is the cabin where the meals are served in Camp Wawanakwa by Chef Hatchet. There are two rooms in the cabin, one where the campers would be served their food, with the other being the kitchen where Chef would cook it.

Interior
The interior of the first room in the main lodge consists of two long tables (one with a table cloth, one without) and twenty-two tree stumps that serve the role as the seats for the campers. Across from the tables is a window where the campers take their trays to receive their meal from Chef who normally stands behind it. 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. Behind the swing doors is the kitchen. Chef refers to this as his domain. It consists of a couple of sinks, an oven, a freezer and a back door leading out of the kitchen. In later episodes, there is also a table inside of the back room.

In Total Drama Action, where the location changes, the main lodge merges with the Arts and Crafts Center to become the craft services tent.

In Total Drama World Tour, the dining area is located inside the Total Drama Jumbo Jet.

Events
Throughout Total Drama Island, the Main Lodge was a focal point for many important events surrounding the campers aside from their daily meals. It is also a spot for some of the camper's challenges. Some important events that took place in the main lodge are:
 * The episodes If You Can't Take The Heat..., and Brunch of Disgustingness primarily take place inside the main lodge.
 * The Big Sleep, Who Can You Trust?, and Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon also have eating-based challenges within the main lodge.
 * The discovery of Harold's haiku to LeShawna was found here by Bridgette and Gwen in X-Treme Torture.
 * The place where Heather's key is located in Search and Do Not Destroy.
 * The place where Beth took chips for Heather, when being in an alliance with Heather in Paintball Deer Hunter.
 * This is where Gwen's encounter with the true killer was. It is also where the fake psycho killer encountered LeShawna.
 * The place where the three-hundred-word essay about Chef is written in Basic Straining.
 * The place where Lindsay, Heather, Owen, Izzy, and DJ hid or attempted to hide in Hide and Be Sneaky. Some hid inside the cabin and some hid on the roof.

Trivia

 * Chef apparently sleeps in the lodge on occasion.
 * This is one of the many places that isn't seen in Total Drama Action or Total Drama World Tour.
 * This building provides the most hiding places in Hide and Be Sneaky, such as the ceiling, the chimney and the roof.
