Clean and well-maintained facilities
Great location near the beach
Good amenities including kitchen and showers
Close to glow worm dell

Nice site with all amenities.
Everything felt neat and clean and camping spots were nice. Very close to the beach but a bit of a walk to the city center if you wanna eat out.
The glow worm dell just across the street is a must if you stay here :)

Nice little campsite, trees and grass not just a gravel pitch.
Good free hot showers, well equipped kitchen and lounge- which was great as while we were there it did nothing but rain. Glow worms 2 min walk, a definite must do free experience even in torrential rain. Would be convenient for the beach in the summer.

Lovely friendly little campsite.
Cute little area with some animals. Good facilities. Not many showers (1 male and 1 female I think) but small campsite so wasn't an issue when we were there. Lovely short access to the beach too.

Great campground.
Good, clean facilities. Really nice “farmlet” with animals. The glow worm dell is worth a visit. But the star is the Tasman Sea and amazing beach. Incredible sunsets, great night sky. Beware the ocean after dark though!

People (very friendly), location (practically on the beach), outfit (everything you may wish for and all clean and tidy), animals (super nice cat, weird looking small camels and others), insects (haven
’t seen any, not even a sandfly), weather (very nice and sunny but may probably differ at times) for a VERY reasonable price. So yes, if we were ever to come near this place again, you would find us right here.

Not so good an experience for us: in fact probably the worst campsite we have encountered in a month of travelling.
Unable to use a pop up tent to store things and unable to have the grass sites as despite being labelled they are not in use? The pitch given was tiny; no space for seating. I feel we are purely paying for a parking space as there is very little else on offer. Close to beach but in this tiny town it’s difficult to find somewhere that isn’t! Will be requesting refund and moving somewhere more pleasant less pretentious and with unnecessary rules....

Shining Star beachfront accomodation is the perfect place to stay in Hokitika, right across the glow worm dell and with direct access to the beach.
The staff is exceptionally helpful, very welcoming and friendly. Facilities are perfectly clean and the kitchen is well equipped. And, you can truly believe this review, since I have spent 5 days there - way longer than intended! We were forced to stay due to a problem with our Camper Van (we flushed our key down the toilet - yes, that really happened!) and were even able to stay in a cabin for one night for free! So, thanks a lot to the owner of the holiday park, who supported and helped us a lot, and the help of all the friendly staff during those days! We will definitely never forget our stay at this place!
