Fishing trip
May 2020 • Family
We loved our stay at one of the Goose Pond Colony cabins. The staff was friendly and courteous. The cabinet was spotless and had everything needed for our stay. We also loved the view of the lake. Thank you!

Gorgeously tranquil RV Park
Nov 2013 • Couples
We are new to the RV life. What a way to start at Goose Pond Colony Plantation in Scottsboro, Alabama. It is actually a self contained community. They have apartments, condos, cabins, an amphitheater, golf course,marina, restaurant, pool, playground, tent campsites all the way up to million dollar motor homes. Our RV is on the lake with a pier and our back door looks out over the golf course. Since neither my husband nor I play golf, I cannot give you a review of the golf course other than it is very pretty and well maintained. They have everything you need to make your stay in the park a complete success. We will be living between our home and Goose Pond for the next six months. We love it.

Excellent Campground, Very Friendly Staff, Beautiful!!!
Apr 2014 • Family
We were planning our trip to Scottsboro for a FLW tournament and researched the Goose Pond Colony Campground. We saw the negative reviews and was honestly a little nervous. We arrived in the campground yesterday and was so pleasantly surprised. Right from checking in the staff and campground has blown us away. I am not sure what might have happened when the bad reviewers stayed here, however our experience is 100% positive. The campground is clean, the spots are easy to get into, the spots are quite larger than what we are accustomed to, and everyone is so friendly. I know some other reviewers mentioned the log term campers, however I can tell you that all of those campers keep their area and rigs looking nice. It is an absolutely beautiful campground. My husband and I were joking last night about writing a review. We joked that we should say nothing that way we can keep this treasure hidden, That would be unfair though, we felt compelled to share our awesome experience. We will be here until Sunday and love it! Read the reviews, however I encourage you to check the campground yourself. You will be pleasantly surprised.

Rude management
Jul 2021 • Family
I’m currently on the list for a monthly lot and every time I contact management I somehow move farther down the list a month ago I was told I was 2nd on list and this week somehow I am 7th. Management was extremely rude when questioned about this. She has a terrible attitude and informed me she was the boss and that’s just how it was going to be. Will not stay here ever again

Most Disappointing Campground Management
May 2020
Very disappointed in the management of the campground. On May 20, 2020, my husband arrived at the campground at Goosepond Colony—one we frequented last summer and enjoyed immensely with our four young children. After some back and forth debate with another patron, the manager on duty admitted she moved the reservation notification from the site she agreed upon and assigned another patron to that camp site instead. She then asked my husband to disconnect our camper and move to a different site.
This act is completely unethical and very unsound business practice. Not only are our children devastated that they are now unable to enjoy a fun camping trip with family and friends, but we are exceptionally frustrated at the amount of time, effort, energy, and resources we have now wasted in preparing for this trip only to turn around and come home.
Unfortunately, this employee has not performed at a level of acceptable professional decorum and should not be allowed to hold a position dealing with the public. I am unclear why the manager decided it wouldn’t be necessary to address this issue in a morally and ethically upstanding manner—by acknowledging her lapse in judgement and maintaining the agreement established prior in allowing my family the camp site agreed upon. While I understand the bottom line is making money, the example set before my four young children was clear in that there are people they will deal with that do not do the right thing.

Poor management
Apr 2021 • Friends
I have tried for months to get a site at Goose Pond Campground. I have driven through periodically and see the same campers on the short term sites. I was given an information packet when inquiring about a site. Their policy is supposed to be a two week limit but the manager is not enforcing this rule. Other rules are not being enforced either like kids on bikes without helmets and young children driving golf carts without an adult. We have decided to camp at another campground even though we have always staid at Goose Pond.

Mice in Cottage # 6
Oct 2020
Better cleaning process as mice ate my bread and had droppings on kitchen table!!! Then in my fruit bowl I found droppings the last morning. I did not report until after I checked out so it was too late for any discount. Office said they would have put out traps if I had called while still there. Cottage # 6 BEWARE IF U GET THIS COTTAGE!!! No discount offered so I am letting everyone know! This place is beautiful at first glance. After staying four nights things were different. First night I had red mold in my coffee pot not a good start. I cleaned coffee pot myself without reporting red mold so my fault. Who wants to complain after traveling for 9 hours to arrive, you just want to drop bags and unwind so I cleaned it so I could have a tasty fresh cup of coffee but I did not report to office as it was after hours. At bath time there was inches of red and black mold on two shower curtains several inches high. I reported to maid next morning and she brought fresh shower curtains. Then the toilet paper holder would fall off the wall, reported that and they came quickly to repair. Last morning there we woke to broken water main pouring down our sidewalk, called twice to emergency number of Goose Pond to report but no one answered so water ran for hours making for slippery and sloppy loading of car. Screen porch was full of holes in screen so mosquitoes and flies had easy access to our skin. I requested a screen porch hoping for pleasant stay but wrong again. Was planning on bringing about 75 people there for huge family reunion but not now we will find somewhere else to go. All of these things should have been done instead of me having to complain every time I did find a problem. You do not go on vacation paying those prices to complain, so sad.

Poor management
Jun 2021 • Family
Campground isn’t clean and maintained like it has been for years. Lots trashed. Cars parked in available sites. Management not letting folks on site as she saves/ prebooking for other… while there isn’t supposed to be reservations at this ground. Manager hateful at times when asked questions.

Horrible manager
Jul 2021 • Family
I was there with my family for the 4th of July week. It was the worst experience my family has ever had. The main problem was the manager disregarding the rules and safety of the other campers. She allowed fireworks to be set off in the campground and when I asked her about it she was completely rude to me and said she was the boss and she made the rules. She’s terrible at her job. She let 5 year olds ride around the campground in golf carts in the middle of the night. The place was nice and I think it could be a lot better with new management because the current manager ruined my whole trip.

Do not go here
Feb 2021 • Family
The camp ground is completely in level. The front desk people are great! The security people approached me tonight in an aggressive manor, telling me what I need to do and how to do it. The two guys were completely rude and had no idea of what happened. I will never stay here again nor recommend it. The two security guards know nothing and will just tell you what you need to do. Fyi! No arrows or nothing to show you directions. Do not go here
