It is still there, so evidently efforts to save it from development have been successful. There is also another group to protect it called the Johnson's Island Preservation Society.

From Wikipedia. After the war, the camp was abandoned and the former owner took over again. Most of the buildings were auctioned off, but some fell into disrepair and were razed. The majority of the Civil War-related sites have been destroyed or built over after decades of farming and quarrying. In 1897, an effort was made to turn the island into a seaside resort, but it failed.
In 1990, it was designated as a National Historic Landmark and a causeway was built to connect it to the mainland. Heidelberg College conducts an annual archaeological did at the site. There is also a museum at Marblehead on the mainland.
