I'm sure it doesn't apply to all parks but I've discovered that with good many parks, even public ones, it's the computerized reservation system that's the problem.
If I want to book a particular site for a week but someone has booked a single day in the middle it will just say the site is 'unavailable' or 'booked' but not show the dates it's booked.
I see this most often in places that are on major routes and someone books a single night on their way through. The Parks Canada system along the Trans-Canada Hwy is notorious for this. Thankfully however their system now let's you see what days are booked so you can work around it.
