http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=2234 - at Hawkshead - 5 min (if that) walk into town.

http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=2951 - at Keswick - once again only 5 mins walk into town

http://www.ukcampsite.co.uk/sites/reviews.asp?revid=1457 - Woolacombe, Devon. 15 mins walk into village, but also has a bus that travels between its 4 parks and to the beach/town.

Cannt think of any others at the moment but theres a start

Google maps is your friend here, if you see a site you fancy take a look on google maps, use the satellite imagery to find the site itself (rather than just using the postcode) then see where the town/village is. 

We have used quite a few which are near towns but it depends where you want to go, and also what you define as walking distance.  We have stayed at sites and walked into town no problem, where reviews by others have indicated it was too far to walk!

For a licence dated 1997 or later you must add together the plated max weight of the caravan and trailer, if the total is 3500 or less you can tow it. You may even tow a caravan with a MAM greater than the cars unladen mass the restriction was removed in 2013

Other suggestions C&CC sites at Oxford and Canterbury.

As Gemma1675 suggests....
Get the postcode of the site and look at it on Google Earth. The views may be a bit out of date, but they give a good idea of where the site is relative to towns and directions of how to get there.

I also use this for foreign sites.
