Ayers Rock Campground

The campground itself isn’t too bad, but for the price (70$ per night for a powered site) I expected much more. The pool was very dirty, and the washing machines didn’t work — I tried two of them and neither worked; I only managed to do my laundry on the third attempt. On top of that, the garbage truck comes by at 6 a.m., waking everyone up. I understand it’s the only campground in the area so they can get away with it, but overall I was quite disappointed.

The entire Ayers Rock resort complex at Yulara is fantastic! We stayed in the campground - toilets and showers were plentiful and clean. Only disappointment is that we booked an extra large unpowered site thinking we would have a bit of extra space between the neighbouring sites, but it was super narrow, just long. We couldn't even put the awning out on our camper, which was much needed in the intense heat. So just be aware that extra large doesn't mean wider, just longer. Having said that, there are lots of trees so we were able to find shade during the day. The pool was a lovely relief from the heat of the day. Lots of bins and recycling. Short drive to Uluru.

Gravel site with a small concrete pad and little or no shade. On the positive side the reception team were friendly and the pool refreshing. Facilities are clean and certainly given the once over every day. Close enough to walk into the town square or the Outback Hotel but be ready to pay for the privilege. $38 three day pass to visit Uluru or Olgas

Stayed at the campgrounds in a powered site, not the cheapest place but it’s all about the location with views of Uluru and Kata Tjuṯa from the raised viewing points. The resort itself was fabulous. We did a few of the free activities, the gentleman doing the didgeridoo, the gentleman doing the painting and the young lady doing the bush tucker were fabulous. Loved our stay here.

This is a nice caravan park, however it was very distressing seeing the number of entangled and injured birds from discarded bits of nylon plastic and other rubbish around the grounds. We easily caught 15 topknot pigeons over a 3 day stay and disentangled them but some injuries would nevertheless have led to loss of feet and legs. We also picked up bags of the rubbish, particularly where it had blown into corners of the park. We informed management but she was temporary so it is unclear what further action was taken

Not good value for money at all. $90 per night for a powered dirt site for 2 adults, with amenities that have missing shower heads & wash hand basins 'out of order', as well as the fact that Australian cash is not recognised here, it's unacceptable to pay for anything with cash within the campground, even though I could pay cash at the Shell servo just down the road for anything at all!! It's a large park with a pool that is way undersized for the number of people staying here, it's easy for us to see as we're on a site very close to the pool, I'd say this is mostly due to the number of teenagers on school &/or youth camps here. If we come back to Uluru we definitely won't be staying here nor will we be recommending it, they need to take a look at parks like the Discovery parks in Katherine & Dundee Beach, try and attain that level instead of being happy with mediocre!

I camped at the Ayers Rock Campground in a HiAce van with my 14-year-old black Labrador in September 2025. I loved the experience. The campground felt like a community, the amenities were adequate and clean, and the staff were friendly. This was my second trip to Uluru. The first time (in 2012 with my wife and then 10-year-old son), I stayed in a resort hotel. I have no complaints about the hotel accommodation, but if I return to Uluru a third time, I'll stay at the campground again!

Edit 15/12/25. DO NOT STAY HERE, THE STAFF HERE ARE SCAMMERS. We wanted to buy some artwork of the locals in the town square and car parks around Uluru as we believe they needed the support more then the corporate run businesses in area. As this area is a cashless area was advised by staff member in office at campground that cash could only be withdrawn from the ANZ ATM's next door to post office, I questioned this but decided that as a local she would know. Used the ATM and later found out my bank account was scammed leaving us with no cash. When I approached park manager Neville he said it was something I had done. I reported to my bank who will issue a refund but takes seven days. Asked Neville for assistance and he could only tell me about the wreckers here who buy caravans from travellers in similiar circumstances. As most know police have no recourse in this situation. Next day Neville said he could help if we reported to police. So we spoke to local officer who said we had done everything correctly. Partner went to caravanoffice to let Neville know which officer we had spoken with and that Neville could contact him direct. They all know each other here. Neville was not available and has refused to contact us since!!! We now believe that a few staff members here are involved in scamming tourists here and blame it on the local indigenous peoples. Other reviews on google advise how guests of hotel rooms and cabins in this resort have had valuable stolen from locked rooms. I have passed all this information on thru my social media accou ts and my youtube channel. DO NOT STAY HERE $55 per night powered site. Water included. Facilities are numerous. Swimming pool, IGA, Post office, Medical Centre. All Emergency Services. Petrol Station. Neville the manager has been extremely helpful. Oh Uluru is also here lol
