If no one reserves it, it will be available for walk-ins. (Really don't know why private campgrounds don't operate this way ... But then, there are many things I don't know and I suppose they have a reason.)
Your specific private campground: No clue why that person at that park behaved that way. Only that person knows.... Your recourse: don't go back, and let others know to avoid the place.
