There's always the outside chance that it could be rebuilt if it burns down, but that's unlikely. As for your speculation about skirmishes, that kind of thing is possible, but generally speaking most back country travelers are pretty courteous and so I don't expect anything newsworthy to occur of that nature.

The best solution is to simply not allow anyone to camp in the darn cabins. They are sites of interest that should be open to all at any time, not first come first served places to spend the night. In fact, there should be a no camping within 200 yards rule applied to cabins. Can you imagine the disappointment someone would feel if they traveled a great distance to visit a cabin and then weren't allowed to look inside because some asshole was spending the night? I don't blame someone in that situation for getting a bit feisty!
