You can find out about campsite detail information here.
The information on this page is when I had researched.
I introduce just my personal opinion, so it may be wrong.
Please understand that the information at that time may have changed.

The campsites is crowded on the weekend and holiday. So you should better to reserve the campsite beforehand.

The playground that is near the administrator's house is suitable for setting up the tent. And the another place that is at the under the observation gazebo is also suitable for camping.
It is a noisy place because a railroad line and the station is near the campsite. But there are shade of trees and table and bench, so it's good.
