I was out there the first week of May.
You can drive out from
Marree via
Muloorina Station to the Lake. The road is a PAR. The last 15km is very corrugated(Nat Park track). It is only a tip of the iceberg so to speak but will give you a fair impression of the lake.
Good camping at Muloorina
Waterhole for a camping fee donation.

for a quick look, I would suggest going to
William Creek and taking an overflight with Trevor, if you can afford it. Definitely the best way of getting a "look around".

Matt,
Can't remember exactly where you are going but Willem was right in being able to access the Lake from near Muloorina but it will probably take 2 or three hours to get there, also can be accessed from
William creek but is a couple of hours also. You can see Lake Eyre south near
Curdimurka on the
Oodnadatta track. When you stqand there and look north you never see the end. Most lakes are the same you can only see a few K's to the horizon. The best way to see the lake is by air and that can be done from
William creek and
Marree.
Have a good trip

It is worth going out to the lake from as many points as you can. Muloorina and
William Creek are both so different. I also hear from those who have been to the lake froma variety of access points that this remains true for every place they go.
Muloorina and
William Creek are the only
places where access is readily available.
