That would be what most RV Parks would do. You didn't call them a second time to tell them you wouldn't be arriving the first night, even though they told you they would be waiting for you. You didn't leave them a message explaining you would need the remaining nights. So they did what any reasonable business would do, decide you weren't coming and rent the site to someone else. They can't just keep cancelling nights and losing the site rental and you probably wouldn't want a park to charge you for all the nights you reserved if you didn't show up.
Cancelling the entire reservation on no shows is common practice in many businesses. Airlines cancel your entire itinerary if you don't make the first flight. Hotels cancel your reservation if you don't show up the first night. Rental car companies won't have a car for you if you don't pick it up on the first day of your reservation.
The onus is on you if you have problems and need to change your reservations. The parks have neither the obligation to track you down nor the ability to read your mind on your intentions.
