Welcome to our Lodging Page

 

The ZDayZ event will be held at Fontana Village Resort. We have been holding it there since we started ZDayZ six years ago. We selected Fontana Village to host our event because of the many on-site facilities:

  • Honeymoon suites, Poolside Cabanas, Fireplace Rooms, Lodge Rooms, Cabins, and Camping
  • The huge meeting facility called the "Recreation Hall" with 9,075 sq. ft. of room. This is the main gathering point for a lot of our get-togethers and events.
  • Mountain View Bistro eatery if you would like a nice, sit-down meal and relax.
  • A pretty, sweet grill called the Wildwood Grill. They have American food, spirits, plus a nice deck to just hang out on.
  • A large, grassy field to hold gatherings and also where Movie and Concert Events will take place.
  • Their is also a store where you can purchase anything from canned goods, bread, fruit, to soap.

Basically, Fontana Village Resort is a great place to hold an event such as ours. All of the events will either be held entirely at Fontana Village Resort, or they will begin and end at Fontana Village Resort. So, with that being stated, veteran attendees know that Fontana Village Resort is the best place to stay as far as location is concerned. So, make your reservations today before they are all sold out.
