I disagree about the "nicer" picnic areas being up higher. We've done the picnicking down on the parking LoT lawns these last few times because we've found it to be much nicer, still very popular but definitely not as crowded as up higher where you have to fight for real estate. Down in the lot there are a couple lawns to choose from, one of which has an actual house sitting next to it (which is some kind of museum now, I think?), shade trees, much more space, plus the aforementioned added bonus of less schlepping.

Nice thing to do is: picnic on the LoT lawn, then bring snacks or perhaps dessert (since we'll be pretty full) up the hill with you.
