There is no public transport to Qasr 'Amrah, so the easiest way is to hire a car+driver or a taxi, especially since you can visit some of the other desert castles. Highway 40 is mainly a truck road, with lorries speeding on their way to – so we've been told – Iraq. Given this, and the lack of signage to the castles, having a driver is probably preferable to driving yourself.

The only realistic way you are going to see the desert castles, without private transport, is by taxi. They cost about 40 dinar from either Amman or Madaba.
