I feel your pain. I have experienced this indifference in the US at a popular RV park that never called back or returned emails. Maybe so popular they couldn't be bothered and figured we'd just show up to enjoy their special setting (We didn't.)
Also dealt with it trying to reserve provincial parks in Atlantic Canada a few years ago. I finally was clued in that they really were closed for the winter - apparently not worried about starting to book their summer season until about April. Not a very good marketing plan, and a lot of the sites were in fact empty at that delightful park, so maybe other people gave up and made plans elsewhere. (I noticed that province began an online reservation system the following year.)
