Shining Star RV Park is just that - a "light" at the top of the hill in rural Texas. A very quiet and pleasant RV Park. Sherry and Tom are gracious hosts/owners. Make sure to visit them!

My husband and I came across Shining Star Rv Park by accident. I really believe it was an answer to our prayers. We live close by in a very busy, crowded and noisy neighborhood. We were taking a country drive when we came upon it. I know it seems silly that we would stay so close to home but the peace and quiet and the country side scenery is truly a blessing to us. 🥰
