Sure is extra parking
Yes if the first parking area is full.
The other side may be closed only open certain hours.
There is another parking lot, once you pass the staff booth at the entrance and the first parking lot. It is usually blocked with a gate, but if all parking taken, they usually open that up
It's a beautiful place I have not been there for like maybe 10 years sorry I can't help you.
