Catchpool Valley Campsite sits within Remutaka Forest Park, about 45 minutes south of Wellington city. Reached via Coast Road through Wainuiomata, the last stretch follows a gravel driveway and may require crossing a concreted stream ford in heavy rain.

The campsite offers bookable sites across three zones totalling 19 sites. Facilities include toilets, showers, gas barbecues, and a communal cooking area. The adjacent Catchpool Centre is separately bookable and provides additional toilet access.

Picnic areas are scattered along Catchpool Road in both open and sheltered spots near the stream.

The valley serves as the most popular entrance to Remutaka Forest Park and connects to Ōrongorongo Valley, giving campers access to walking tracks suited to a range of ages and fitness levels.
