I am with the others, driver's side is probably preferable, but circumstances often make the passenger side preferable. Things like curling around a tree, someone parked along the road, the angle of the site and probably a hundred other considerations help make the decision.
One thing that is almost constant, and not understood by many people is you need to get as close to the site as possible before you swing away to begin backing up. This is the exact opposite of what you should do to pull into a site where you should swing out as far away from the site as possible before swinging in.
The other old saw I often quote is: You need to drive more like a truck driver and less like an RV'er. Truckers drive fast on the interstate and back up slowly. RV'ers tend to do the opposite .
