Consider your length of stay. For example, let's say you wanted to stay for a couple weeks from May 15-June 1. Well, Memorial Day weekend is in there. The CG may have tumbleweeds blowing through it, then be booked up for Memorial Day, then empty out again. Holidays aside, consider local festivals and attractions that cause the CG to book up.
Even though the place you're at was empty when you checked in, there may be a festival or event coming up this weekend or sometime during your stay that may fill it up. So when they say "one site left" that doesn't mean right now, it means "one site that is continuously available for the duration of your stay."
Hotels operate the same way, just that you can't see which rooms are empty or occupied like you can in a CG.
There's really not a conspiracy among CG owners to lie to their guests.
The CG moved you because you complained, but guaranteed that someone else is going to get stuck with that spot.
