I agree, the access road is not suitable for a trip in and then out at night.
The second challenge is that access to the sacred grounds with the iconic sand and rock formations is strictly controlled. Access is generally only via guided tours. One would need to check in advance to confirm accommodation and whether a guided night time visit was possible. One cannot simply park at the interpretation centre and iconic shearing shed and then walk or drive the several kilometres meters out to the sacred grounds. At least, that’s how it was when I was there about six years ago.
Another possibility is to look up one of the many silo art trails in regional Australia. Many of the larger silos have all sorts of additional infrastructure in addition to the silos that would make for interesting foregrounds. Many also have attached caravan, RV and camper my areas nearby.

Very challenging getting out to the site at night and impossible if wet at all getting to Mungo. You would need to be staying at the lodge or NP and the wildlife on the road at night is a real risk. We did manage it from the lodge but it was a challenge and I am not sure you can walk around past the car park in the dark. Who knows what you might tread on.
I am reading a book on indigenous star lore by an astrophysicist. Maybe a guide would take you at night.
