Having a motorhome and not towing a car its nice to find sites that are within walking distance of towns local attractions etc. Many years ago when we had a caravan we just got in our car and off we'd go.. everything needs alittle more planning in a m/h We are not afraid of walking or catching buses but its nice to find sites in a town especially in the winter. Now I know I could just look. and I do..on Google maps but I get bored.Frown so any suggestions. We do like Tewkesbury it suited us and our dog

Oxford C&CC site is good great access to the coty a 20 min walk or you can catch a bus from right outside the site. Moffat C&CC also very good right in the town and there is a good selection of pubs and shops in the town. As others have said Berwick seaview is good for the town as is York Rowntree and York Beechwood Grange. Ayr Craigie Gardens is also right in the town 

hope this helps

Chester Fairoaks.  10 min walk to Outlet village, where you can get buses to Chester and, others correct me if I'm wrong, you can also go to Liverpool?   Also on our first visit, we worked out you could eat in a different place every night for a week all within that 10 min walk.

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.

Ah thanks everyone it seems i've been to most of the sites mentioned a few I haven't so will check them out.

Why I mentioned Tewkesbury, its so close to town its great when the weather is a little iffy and raining..its sites like these that are ideal especially in the winter. When the weather is good we will walk for miles. We have used a few independant sites and found they can be alittle nearer to amenities than CC sites.

You can indeed get the bus to Liverpool from Cheshire Oaks but it's not something I'd recommend. Better to get the train from Ellesmere Port 5 minutes away.
