Amateur/Junior
Campbell joined the USA Hockey National Team Development Program in 2008. He represented the U.S. numerous times over the course of his career with the NTDP, but his most memorable international competition was the 2010 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships where he backstopped the Americans to an upset victory over the host Canadians in the gold medal game. For his efforts, he was named Goaltender of the Tournament.
Campbell played at the National Team Development Program for two seasons before joining the Windsor Spitfires of the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) for the 2010–11 season. He struggled in his first season, putting up poor numbers, but nonetheless had a strong 2011 World Juniors Tournament, where he was again named Goaltender of the Tournament.
On November 2, 2011, Campbell was traded from the Windsor Spitfires to the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds for MacKenzie Braid, Patrick Sieloff, a 2012 third-round pick, a 2013 second- and third-round pick, two second-round picks in 2014, a second-round pick in 2015 and a conditional 15th-round pick in 2016.

On March 20, 2012, the Dallas Stars assigned Campbell to the Texas Stars of the AHL. On March 23, he made his professional debut against the Oklahoma City Barons in a loss. Two nights later, on March 25, he won his first professional game against the Toronto Marlies. On March 30, he had his first professional shutout over the Lake Erie Monsters.
In the 2013–14 season, on October 20, 2013, Campbell was recalled from Texas and made his NHL debut with Dallas, posting a 6–3 loss against the Anaheim Ducks.
In December 2015 Campbell was reassigned to the Texas Stars' ECHL affiliate, Idaho Steelheads for an undetermined amount of time.
