Early life and GAA career Born in Rochestown, Cork, Campbell attended Presentation Brothers College and, alongside future Munster teammate Alex Kendellen, helped the school to the final of the 2020 Munster Schools Rugby Senior Cup, which was curtailed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

After completing his leaving cert in June 2021, Campbell opted to leave Cork to study law and accounting at the University of Limerick. Additionally, Campbell chose to pursue rugby over football, and joined Young Munster ahead of the 2021–22 All-Ireland League, quickly impressing in a series of strong performances for the Limerick club.
