Unless it has been dramatically changed recently, the camping is on fairly loose sand. We camped one night there before moving on. This was enough time at the location for us. There is a good view of that part of the lake and it is below sea level.
William Creek is a good access point. Take care on the road for loose sand.

The
campground at the Lake edge is small, but OK.
There is also camping at
William Creek (with facilities, for a fee).
The road out to the Lake WAS good, but will chop up to include some bull dust fairly quickly with the traffic. There is no sand issue and it was quite OK for 2WD over
Easter.
Probably one night at the Lake and maybe one in
William Creek would satsfy.
Allow time on the Track to explore the other old sidings an the Mound Springs.
Cheers,
Peter

Sorry, only answered half your questions
There was water 200m from the edge of the Lake at
Halligan Bay (in from
William Creek).
There was no water visable at Muloorina or Lake Eyre south.
Cheers,
Peter
