I've spent about 4 months at Suncoast RV Resort in Port Richey and based upon my experience, I believe some of the previously posted harsh reviews were either unreasonable or perhaps out of date (based upon past conditions).
Let's get the subtle "gripes" out of the way (why I gave the place 4/5 stars).
I believe the company that manages the property overall does not put their time, effort, or money into updating the place, record keeping, or accounting.
They have a hokey policy of ONLY allowing you to pay using a card... and then they FORCE you to pay something like 3% as a service charge... for using a card... which is the ONLY way they allow you to pay. 🤔
They could either wave that fee (seeing as how they are already making a nice profit on the site rent) or perhaps allow customers to pay with cash, check, cashier's check, etc. Maybe set up online payments - without the imposed surcharge?
In fact, I called Gemstone (the "managing" company of this property) and got some lady on the phone who was in her car with the windows open - instead of an office or something more "established". Hmmm
OK, that's out of the way. Let's get to the reason they get the 4 stars - the on-site staff, local manager, and grounds crew.
The people who work locally at this park do everything they can to be friendly, fair, accommodating, etc. They're doing a great job with what Gemstone gives them to work with.
The property management company (owners) really need to step up and put some money back into this property which had SO MUCH potential.
The temporary bathroom and showers are in good shape (although I never needed them because I used my Airstream's bathroom), but they SHOULD either tear down the dilapidated clubhouse and build a new one OR update the existing.
Location though... that is definitely a plus. Up and coming downtown New Port Richey is minutes away with vibrant nightlife, live music, festivals, restaurants, breweries, etc.
There is a BEAUTIFUL park right behind Suncoast called Warner-Boyce where you can hike, kayak, fish, bird watch, etc.
And, shipping is nearby as well. A large Walmart is almost directly outside the entrance of the resort. This park is convenient to everything.
Mostly snowbirds and quiet older people so you can walk safely at night and you'll have no trouble getting a peaceful night's sleep.
I recommend the place and would stay there again.
