We will be at the resort mid April - I recall having read some reports that the
campground can be quite noisy after dark, with backpackers and tour groups partying.
We're going to be with 2 other families and we all have
young children - are there any areas in the
campground that are better than others to avoid the noise and late nights?

We've stayed a couple of times and it was OK. A bit of joyous noise coming from the nearby bus/tent/backpacker area but not too bad.
Ask at reception and they may position you in the quietest spot.

By the way, the
Visitor Centre is first class and very helpful. Straight in front of you as you reach the main street.

My GP here in
Broken Hill is a locum and does six weeks here and goes
home to
Sydney but occasionally goes to other
places and she did 4 weeks at Ayers
Rock she was shocked by the amount of RFDS call out s for People falling and breaking legs
not sure why is it that hard to climb
the rock or are people just not prepared for such a activity
expensive day out I have had several trips to
Adelaide by RFDS but I was lucky I was being transferred from the local hospital to
Adelaide so it cost nothing I am not sure if ambulance service would cover it
if not that is a expensive trip two Ambulance rides and the aircraft trip would cost over $5000 theses days

It is worth enduring to see the iconic
rock as
well as the larger
Kata Tjuta. Discuss your concerns with reception. They were willing to spend quite some time trying to find a site we could fit on. It was not exactly quiet with hire whizz-bangs around us, and though not back packers, a gent who talked quite loudly while have a few drinks with mates after our bed time.
Young children will sleep through the doors and chatter.

We stayed at the
Camp grounds in 2010 and the place was full, including buses full of school kids camping in tents. We didn't notice that the noise levels were above normal at any time. It just didn't register as a problem for us.
The climb up
the rock is very steep in
places and is sometimes closed due to weather conditions, so if its very windy or wet the authorities close the walk. I'd like to say that in respect to the traditional owners request not to climb
the rock we opted for the walk around the base, but the truth is that it also looked too steep for my liking.
Don't forget to give time to visit
Kata Tjuta. I found that place more intriguing that Uluru to be honest. We did the Valley of the Winds Walk and loved it. We didn't get to do the Walpa
Gorge Walk as we simply ran out of time. By all reports that's great too. Take good hiking boots not joggers as there's lots of stones under foot and joggers don't support your sole.
