Catchpool Valley Campsite sits beside Catchpool Stream within Remutaka Forest Park, roughly 45 minutes south of Wellington city.

Managed by the Department of Conservation, it is reached by following Coast Road south of Wainuiomata for 10 km to the main park entrance, then driving a further 2. 5 km along a gravel driveway toward the top carpark.

A concreted stream ford on the access road may need to be crossed during heavy rain. The campsite is a popular base for exploring the walking tracks of the Ōrongorongo Valley, with well-signed trails suited to a range of fitness levels.

It is a seasonal facility, closing over winter from May through to Labour Weekend each year. Online bookings are available through DOC for three designated zones within the campground.
