From memory camps 3, 4 & 5 are in the aboriginal lands so not allowed to go to them.
I was up that way July 2012 as well, we took the Madigan to camp 2 then detoured off to Geo-survey Hill and the Geographical Centre.
That was a challenging trip as most of it was without tracks.
We had a permit for camp 5,
Did you get camp 1? It was on top of a dune We found no wheel tracks around that one

The Madigan line is the path the first white men to cross the Simpson desert took on camel, there are 25 camps between old andado and birdsville , Cecil Madigan was the leader and named the desert after the bloke paying the bills in Adelaide, the radio operator was also a Simpson. The path used to be xcountry between the camp gps points but the track is now getting defined, still able to break a hilux though !
