We usually avoid arriving at a campground in the dark, but last night we came in just as the sun was setting and it was difficult to see our site clearly. My wife had a great idea. We used two battery operated lanterns that we carry and set them in the back of the site to help me back into the exact space I wanted to occupy. It worked perfectly. No yelling between the two of us about"little to the left" or "right"or "stop" etc!!!!!

Kewl!!!! Much like Naval Aviators, minus the pitching deck, but maybe a little less deadly...

No arresting cables, either...

A couple of those solar powered lights that people put out might be good also.

In daylight when we need some kind of a reference to park to we will either string out an extension cord or use a couple of the small orange cones that can be bought at horse places.

Yeah, I like that one. A line of those small solar powered lamps and you have your own runway approach. In my driveway I have a block of wood so when I back my truck in I stop with enough room to open the tailgate if I need to.

If you carry those red reflective triangles for roadside emergency stops (and if you don't you should carry them!), they also make great markers for backing into a parking space. They don't need batteries, and your trailer's taillights should light them up well enough to see them in your mirrors.
