Most of the program's success came in the mid-1980s to early 1990s, and in the late 2010s to early 2020s. The Camels have won seven total Big South tournament championships and eight Big South regular season titles.

The program's most successful season came in 2019, when they won their first NCAA Tournament game in program history, reaching the second round, where they lost to eventual national runners-up, Virginia. Campbell has produced several players that have gone out to play professional soccer including Thibaut Jacquel, Jake Morris, David Doyle, and Josue Soto.
