Not camped since we got a caravan, however, when we had our annual trip to France, we would stay the first and last night at a site halfway down, that was a case of just throwing the tent up as soon as we arrived (after checking the pitch for stray pegs, stone or anything to lose that could damage the tent, once we got to our main site, we took a bit more time with it all though, spending 10-12 nights on a pitch where your tent has been put up facing the wrong way gets frustrating as time goes on.
In that case, we would generally pull up at the pitch, unhook the trailer and move it into a corner, put the stove on and make a coffee, unpack the trailer, and then spend a bit of time working out where we wanted the tent, even then, we usually managed to get it wrong!!

Since the OP question and my previous reply, done a couple of very late arrivals in the dark and temporary pitches with intention of relocating to different 'permanent' pitch in the morning.
Oh the joy of a caravan over a tent! - just unhitch car (it'd be in the way left hitched, but not essential to do so), put the legs down, turn on the gas cylinder, plug in the EHU - 10 mins, ready to live in relative comfort. Container of water already on board for 'essentials' like a brew, so no need to fill water butt just yet. Toilet already 'primed' for use prior to setting off. Could be cooking dinner and quaffing booze inside 15 mins! - and the bed is ready and waiting!
Just as quick to reverse minor tasks of previous night to move to more permanent pitch in the morning. How I so don't miss all the graft of pitching tents and NEVER wanting to relocate once pitched! 
Even in the pouring rain, compared to a tent, it's a doddle, and the foulest of weather can be someone else's problem after 15 mins on pitch.
