Looks like Campos has been saved, with an official announcement eminent.

It is expected that there will be an announcement shortly of a restructuring of the Campos Meta team, with Jose Ramon Carabante taking 100% ownership in the team. In a deal that was brokered by Bernie Ecclestone, Adrian Campos has been made an offer to remain with the team in an advisory role,

Former Midland, Spyker and Force India boss Colin Kolles will be named as Team Principal and former Red Bull Technical Director Geoff Willis replaces Gabriele Tredozi at Dallara, becoming the Technical Director of the F1 project.

Work re-started last Friday at Dallara's factory and the team is working flat out to get the cars ready for Bahrain. They are not expected to do any testing before the first race.
Looks like my dreams of a USF1/Campos combined team are not going to happen.

Also, the only official word from USF1 is from their official twitter account in which they state that they are not gone, and more news is coming soon.

The US F1 Team web server is down and is being repaired as this is written. We are not gone, as many have reported. More news soon.
