The bridge is phenomenal, but even better was that we were allowed to stay in the visitor center parking lot for 8 hours with no charge. We we're able to get phenomenal pictures of the bridge & San Francisco in day & night shots, as well as have a free spot to sleep with 24 hour bathroom & snack machine access. The lot is beautifully landscaped, and there's parking for RVs. Be forewarned, there's a toll if you travel the bridge road South into San Fran, but not one going North.
