One thing you may be running into is that some COE parks do close during winter months, or leave a few sites open for first come first serve basis. Be sure and look at the "Season Dates"also at the top of the Facility details page. Like on this page. This particular park is closed due to damage from spring rains, but others should have more info.
Also checking out RV Park Reviews will give you some other CG options in that might be just as inexpensive as paying for 2 nights when you only need one. Hope this helps some!
I did a little tent camping about ten years ago and it never even crossed my mind to reserve anything in advance. Those were the days, I guess.
I think that yes, sometimes it will be just easier to go to a private campground for one night if they'll allow it.
