The paddock we are presently in would be approx 5 acres. In comes a van and parks right in front on me, 10 minutes later another van pulls up and parks right on my tail..why?
All you need is a light weight folding box ,painted red or blue and with vents cut into it, out front with a nice brightly coloured electrical lead back to under your van - they will not park next to what they will interpret , on initial looks, as a Gen Set (horror of horrors....!)
Back in the days, when you could carry guns, my wife and I were on a tenting trip around OZ. We pull in to an out of the way campsite, no one around and set up our tent, In comes a guy and his missus,, and sets up 10 m from us, their were 50 sites they could have gone to but, no, right on top of us. So I said lets move. Whilst we are setting up again, he moves to within 8m of us. So I go to him, and ask what gives, they said they were scared. So to make them more scared, I got out my rifle and started to clean it, he saw it, and they were packed up and gone in 3 minutes. You would think, they would see that we would want privacy, when we moved the first time, but no, he wanted to be in the tent with us.
A couple of years ago I was camped in the forest high up on the Murray River in Victoria, just a rough camp in the middle of nowhere, it was dark and my phone rang - it was a long time girlfriend and I told her where I was: she replied "Aren't you scared?" - I answered "No" - there was a pause then she said "No... I suspect other people are scared of you...." - I took it as a compliment :)

I suppose these days one could prop up a shovel in view & be seen sharpening an axe & knife etc.
One afternoon where we were set up, there was more space than on a 36 hole golf course. Another lot set up right next to us. They did go the next day, but really, we live in a block of units & it is nice to get away from the neighbours.

A few years ago we were camped at Cameron's Corner in about a zillion acre paddock and, you guessed it, the other sole camper that night camped virtually on top of us. The person in the store told us to pick a spot and I thought I had the ideal isolated spot. Luckily we were on an overnight stop on the way to Innamminka.
