Camping API returning malformed XML

   I'm running a search on the campground API, and both in my browser and in my app, I'm getting a parse error. Here's the exact query I'm using:
   
   http://api.amp.active.com/camping/campgrounds?landmarkName=true&landmarkLat=36.778261&landmarkLong=-119.4179324&xml=true&api_key=( my key )
   
   And this is the error:
   
   error on line 192 at column 1: AttValue: ' expected
   
   In my Rails app, REXML is throwing this error:
   
   malformed XML: missing tag start
   Line:
   Position:
   Last 80 unconsumed characters:
   &lt;result availabilityStatus=&quot;N&quot; contractID=&quot;NRSO&quot; contractType=&quot;FEDERAL&quot; facilityI</pre>
   
   I ran a query on the API using ?pstate=CA and it returned results with no problems. What's up with this?
   
   Thanks for any help you can provide.

   And just for extra WTF value, if I include "json=true" in the query I get properly-formed XML back.

   One more thing- the forum navigation is also broken. I have to manually put in a "2" to get to the next page.

   ok, thanks mgerring. I'll work with our guys to check out these issues. It looks like you've got a work around.
