This camping ground is one that our family use at least once a year.
It is called "Komagane Kogen Kazoku Ryoko Mura Arupusu no Oka", or more literally in English; Komagane Family Village on Top of the Alps.

I am not sure of the on top of the Alps piece, although it certainly well up in a valley. You access the camping ground facility from "Komagane IC" on the Chuo Expressway. It is about 2.5 hours from Nagoya or 3- 3.5 hours from Tokyo (before the heavy traffic).
So, what is great about this camping ground;
- The facilities are new
- The camp sites are a good size and all have a picnic table included
- There is an Onsen (Hot Springs) within the facility
- There are many activities to enjoy; go-carting, mini golf, mallet golf and much more
- The facility is 5 mins drive from the Komagane IC
- It is beautifully green, full of nature, quiet and has great views of the valley below
What's more, the Komagane Village nearby has more Onsen, shops, a river (and nice park along the river), and you can also take a ropeway to the Komagatake Mountain.
Also, don't forget to take a look at the Kozenji Shrine that is a 15 min walk from the camp site too!

Komagane is awesome, there is also a great fruits "gari" place up there where, for 1,100 yen, you can pick and eat as many pears, apples, grapes, prunes, and sometimes peaches as you want, no time limit. I think it opens September 1. Called something furutsu rando, maybe.
