Narrative:

Approaching busy resort area non-towered airport bhb VFR. Winds variable from calm to 8 kts for 45 minutes prior to landing shifting from northwest to southwest. No response from airport management on unicom to repeated requests from me and others for airport advisory; despite airport maintenance vehicle making several calls when crossing runway. AFD (airport/facility directory) has seemingly nonstandard language that turned out to be confusing for some on what runway to use during calm wind conditions. When I was 7 miles southwest; ASOS reported winds calm. I took AFD statement to mean that runway 22 is preferred runway when winds reported as less than 5 kts. I set up for a left downwind to 22. An aircraft called in from the south and prepared to; and proceeded to land runway 4 despite 5 other aircraft approaching/in pattern for runway 22. Someone asked on frequency why the aircraft would choose to use runway 4 when the runway in use is 22. The aircraft responded that he took off earlier that morning and the winds favored runway 4; that's what he considered the safest runway; and that he asserted there was no calm wind runway at the airport despite my popping in to report that AFD says runway 22 is the calm wind runway. Given the total of 7 aircraft approaching/in the pattern (including me) from all directions simultaneously (one crossed perpendicular to me; 300 ft above pattern altitude; as part of his pattern entry); I did not have a visual on the runway 4 aircraft until I turned final. Since he was closer to landing than me; and appeared insistent on landing; I shifted right and went around (above the landing aircraft). I suspect that the landing aircraft may have been a local pilot given his statement on CTAF and where he taxied to on the airport. Can the AFD language be changed for greater clarity in this situation? Can airport management provide typical unicom services on runway in use? While the largest aircraft in the pattern during my arrival was a king air; the ramp was filled with mid and large cabin jets. It's also an air carrier airport. The chaos and lack of coordination/conflicting traffic is disconcerting.

Narrative: Approaching busy resort area non-towered airport BHB VFR. Winds variable from calm to 8 kts for 45 minutes prior to landing shifting from northwest to southwest. No response from airport management on UNICOM to repeated requests from me and others for airport advisory; despite airport maintenance vehicle making several calls when crossing runway.
