If you go to a campsite where you can pitch where you want have a quick drive round and then park in the best spot.
Then, this is the clever bit, have a walk around the site to see if there might be a better spot that you missed/didn't notice from your van.
This way you have quickly secured a probable pitch without driving around in circles like idiots with everyone gawping at you and also you often spot the best pitch on foot and can still move to it.
(it took 12 years of being the idiots being gawped at before we realised this trick!)
