Sites near towns

The OP might find this existing thread contains a lot of the information he needs. I also have quite an extensive list of UK campsites which are near towns or near transport links here just look for the green motorhome symbol next to the site report.

Melrose Gibson Park is right at one end of the town. There's also a booklet of walks which is exceptional 

Exmoor House site is right by the little town of Dulverton.  A good range of food shops, cafés, hostelries and other local amenities within 5 minutes' walk.

try Castleton 5min into town

Hardly a town though. I'd go so far as to say it's beyond Hope. 

Used to like Buxton, nice walk down through the woods to the town. However, have not been for a few years and might find it a bit more difficult now, as site is probably the highest in the network at 1330 ft AOD and some 360 ft above the town.

Also Berwick, a much easier walk to and from town than Buxton.

Southport. Walk on the dunes right outside, or 20 ish minutes into town through the park.

Totnes, Steamer Quay, love it, river walks too.

Burrs Country Park at Bury. Lovely park at the gates of the site to walk the dogs and 20 minute walk into Bury or the bus not far from the site and links into Mancheter, lovely site if you can get a booking :-)

I'm trying to post a thankyou message but it keeps timing out...very quickly!!!!!!!
