Depends on your location, but apparently it is around 3,000 stars with your naked eye. Total, there is about 6,000 - 8,000 that are visible, but of course you can only see a portion of the sky at any given time.

The unaided eye cannot count any stars. However, the unaided eye can see about 6000 stars in the fully-available skies around the earth.

There are about 14,000 stars in the entire sky brighter than magnitude 7. This is about the limit for an observer with very good eyesight (and assuming exceptionally clear viewing conditions). However an observer can only see somewhat less than half the sky at any given time, so the answer would be under 7,000

About 3,000 on a dark night with 20/20 vision. But there are many more your eye can't distinguish, and will see as 'clouds' instead - about 200 billion in the Milky Way and 400 billion in the Andromeda galaxy. So you can see somewhere between 3000 and 600 billion.

the human eye can count approximately 4 stars befor he/she gets confused and mixed up. i tried it, and in this case experience is the best answer i think.
