Steps

  1. Query https://gis.blm.gov/arcgis/rest/services/recreation/BLM_Natl_Recreation_Sites_Facilities/MapServer with a standard ArcGIS REST query request
  2. Set f=geojson (or f=json/pbf) on the query to get your preferred output format
  3. Filter by attributes such as site type (campground, day-use, OHV area) in the where clause
  4. Page through results using the service's standard ArcGIS REST pagination parameters
  5. Cross-reference facility IDs against RIDB, since BLM documents this layer as sourced from ridb.recreation.gov
