It's not that difficult.  Don't be a campsite pig and leave the site as you would have liked to have found it.  So pack out or burn all your trash...don't leave it in the firepit for me to pick out (I always do, if any is there). Do your business well away from camp and bury everything. If I can tell where your latrine area was, you can and should do better. Don't put nails in trees, don't cut live saplings for your tarp pole, don't stash firegrates or anything else, don't haul in non-native materials to build camp furniture (heck don't even build any with native materials).

I used to use log benches a lot more but camp chairs are so light and comfortable there's no need. I won't deconstruct what's there but I won't use it either.

It's been a long time since I've been to any campsite that receives even moderate traffic that doesn't have at least a couple nails in trees. If they are there, I'll use them. If not, I have bungee cords and/or rope that will suffice for me to hang anything I need to hang.

If you cut any live saplings/trees for any purpose, they are getting immediately dragged way back in the forest. I don't want to have to explain why it's there if the ranger shows up.  Collapsible tarp poles are very light and a lot more reliable.

If you stash grates, lawn furniture, etc. I will pack them out if it's reasonable for me to do so. The last day or two of a trip, it's a virtual guarantee I will do so. Early in a trip which involves a lot of travel/portages, I'll probably leave your crap stashed well out of sight but not too hard to find if you look. I don't need/want to carry it all over the Q.

I will reconstruct the firepit to suit my needs if it doesn't already. Some are completely ridiculous. Most are fine even if they could be a lot smaller. I mostly cook on stoves but I do grill venison/steaks/fish so I just want a way to get my firegrate level and at the proper height.

I do appreciate a nice flat/level surface for camp stoves. I've seen all kinds of rocks used for this, some work great and some don't. If it doesn't work, I'm moving it out of my way. If it does the job well, it will still be there when I leave.

I enjoy using the benches and fire pit - otherwise, don't like to see "artwork" or whatever - if I don't like it, I will take it down.
Mostly, don't see too much except logs around a fire pit.

I would do what you did, tell the park about it.

I don't feel it's my duty/responsibility to tear down man-made objects when the park is being run by the Native Peoples who are responsible for it.

  TP/sanitation/garbage is MY responsibility anything else IMHO is getting into a GREY area.

I've camped right behind NATIVE crews and I can tell you from first-hand experience THEY follow their OWN guidelines on what's acceptable backcountry behavior that might not fit the Governments.

The Northern most campsite on Turtle Island on BH is where many Native people group camp when they visit friends/relatives working at the BH ranger station.
 
  The last time I stayed there before leaving park, there was an area where they had stashed numerous buckets/fire grates that they used while camping.

For all, anyone knows that RESORT gear was put there by the Natives?

You tell the park rangers, you've done your duty, what happens next is on them.

The nails surprise me but it seems I see more in bwca now than 10 years ago. I don't carry anything to pull them and not about to add tools.

I thought the POD for 7/26 was a real work of art.
I also think being offended by a scrap of toilet paper or a bit of aluminum foil left in the fire-pit borders on OCD behavior; IMO it is far better in the fire-pit than strewn about the campsite. 
I agree with Solus, nails are sometimes useful and you need good eyesight to even notice them most of the time.
Everyone has their own idea of what the "ideal" fire ring is.  If it is too big, YOU have obviously chosen a site which is used a lot. . . and which could easily disappoint you in other ways (above). 
"No sign of human hands..." Really ?!  99.9% of you live in-town (city, megalopolis) surely any woods or green grass is more wild and untouched than city life.
