If I were to go w/the latter, is it as simple as dumping some gravel on the
lawn

No, you'll wind up with rocky mud every time it rains. Do it right, dig out
about 4" of the dirt and use it to fill in low spots on your lawn. Then get a
load of unwashed crushed white rock and fill in the area. The limestone fines
in the gravel set up almost like concrete after some time and make a very
sturdy driveway. Our local contractors use it a lot in road building. HTH

What is the existing driveway made of? If it's paved, then I'd
definitely pave the parking spot. I've never been a fan of crushed
stone for this application. The stones wind up in the lawn, in the
street, migrating to paved areas, etc. And if you live in an area
with snow, either blowing or plowing moves stones around too. I'd go
with asphalt, cement or pavers.
