Oh, the examples I was thinking of were through recreation.gov, which shows a calendar of sites and availability. A lot of National Park and National Forest campgrounds are on there.
Well I guess a government website would not cheat like that. But it is also likely that the campsite is reporting a slightly lower number of spots to the website, so that they have a bit more flexibility with people having emergencies or such.
Very often the booking sites just fake “last available” though. I was once the only guest in a hostel and I booked it as “last available” 🫠
