I got down there at 0630 and there was only about 10 of us there. The guys next to me had arrived at 0500, for prime photographic spots.
The gate doesn't appear to open until 0700, but I can't be certain if you can't drive in before then by going in the exit lane. I'm not local, and I'm staying at Ron Jon's so I walked. Either way I don't think you need to get there that early! There were still plenty of space on the jetty at 0700 until 0730. When I left I noticed people had been parking on the edges of and within grassed areas, so if this is acceptable for the park people there was still plenty of space available.
I have to fly out midday tomorrow, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Hope my reply is useful and brings me good karma!

Being a Saturday, there might just be greater crowds.
