Back-in from which direction?

Is there a correct side (driver vs. passenger) from which to back into a camping spot? We went out this weekend and I backed in from my usual side....the driver's side. Saw others enter from the passenger side while others from the driver's. The spots were probably angled less to the passenger side but many would cause you to back up an incline in the road. I didn't notice any correlation between the angles and inclined road, so that didn't seem to make a difference.

Realizing that angle of entry, among other criteria, dictates which side to back toward; are there reasons to choose one side vs. the other?

Makes no difference to me.

If the sites are perpendicular to the road, I prefer from the driver's side. Easier for me if I can look out the side window and watch the trailer tires.

If the sites are angled then it doesn't matter much.
