Too far from Sheffield for a weekend (4 hour drive), but all three Council-run sites in Dumfries & Galloway are at the edge of town parks. Kirkcudbright, Castle Douglas and Lochmaben (where the site's called Kirk Loch). Some campers don't like this set-up because it means locals strolling beside the site, but it's never bothered us. Kirkcudbright is the Artists Town (always has something going on), Castle Douglas is the Food Town (Sulwath Brewery, interesting shops), Lochmaben (near Lockerbie) is small but does have pubs in walking distance and it's closest to the M74. It would make a good week away, a couple of days at each one. Any holiday resort town has non-Butlin sites round the edge, you can walk/ cycle / bus into town - St Andrews, Portpatrick, Aviemore... Smashing site at the edge of Chester by the canal. But sorry! I can't help with Sheffield area.

Hi there
My husband and I look for the same things as you, somewhere within a short walking distance.
We love Hopley's Family Camping in Bewdley, great site, nice stroll into the town, and you could walk back, but after a few drinks we usually opt for a taxi back, only a fiver.
Newlands Meadows is near Great Malvern, lovely looking pub a stones throw away.
Our last trip, we went to Foxholes Castle Campsite in Shropshire. Ten minutes walk to Bishop's Castle, where there are six pubs, all well reviewed.
Don't give up, you will find what you are looking for and have a great time. I spend hours researching where we will go and love the planning aspect. We have a list of what we want from a site, I love trawling through reviews and websites,adding them to our virtual brochure finding places we will love. We haven't gone wrong yet!
The other thing I would suggest is finding a place where you can have a camp fire. The flames and the stars, who needs a pub?
Happy camping,
Ange
