Campground Question

On Wednesday, I checked in to a RV park near Dayton as I planned to visit the U.S. Air Force Museum.. The park advertised that it was the closest to WPAFB and that was the selling point for me.. I arrived and the park was older but clean, but when I registered the woman told me they did not have a credit card machine (I thought that was odd) and it was cash or personal check only.. I paid with a check for two nights (Wed and Thur night) and was taken to my pull thru.. The next morning (Thurs) I left in my RV as I did not have a towed car.. I visited the museum and returned to the park at 5 p.m. only to find a TT with slideouts in my space... All the other empty spots that were empty when I left were still empty.. I was livid and went to the office, were a different woman was working.. I asked her why there was another camper in my spot when I was paid up until Friday morning.. She told me that she thought I was not coming back and that they have a waiting list and she gave it to someone else.. I told her I counted 5 drive thrus that were the same as mine that were empty and you can not rent out a spot that was already paid for, and that was illegal.. She just smirked and said I could have drive thru lot 76 as it was nicer anyway and had shade... I took it and the next morning looked around and those same spots that were empty at 5 were still empty in the morning, so there was no waiting list.. Is it not illegal to do this?...
