A Desert Parks Pass - with its comprehensive safety information and maps- is the only permit available to cross the Simpson Desert. No services are available between Oodnadatta and Birdsville unless a detour is taken to Mount Dare Homestead. A Campground with toilets and showers is available at Dalhousie Springs and Purnie Bore in Witjira National Park.You may camp within 100 metres of the public access tracks in the Simpson Desert, but there are no facilities. The best places to camp are mostly located towards the salt lakes in the central region where gidgee woodlands provide shade, shelter and soft ground for camping.
