Campert is best known for his poem "De achttien dooden" ("The Eighteen Dead"), describing the execution of 18 resistance workers (15 resistance fighters and 3 communists) by the German occupier. Written in 1941 and based on an account published in Het Parool, the poem was clandestinely published in 1943 as a poetry card ("rijmprent") by what would become publishing house De Bezige Bij to raise money to hide Jewish children.
He was the father of novelist and poet Remco Campert.
