That campground is in a state of disrepair. Gets very little use, a few people during hunting season. I fully expect the Forest Service to eliminate it in a few years, pull out all the facilities and just leave it as a dispersed camping site. Continue past it to the end of the road inside the National Park, and you find the NPS Butte Lake CG. Much nicer.
Nothing to repair. Those types of campgrounds started out just as dispersed camping areas, like many up that way, and the Forest Service took them over so they could regulate. Don't see them going back in the other direction. Butte Lake is not at all like boondocking, like the OP requested.
