In April 2021, Campagna signed a Homegrown player contract with Vancouver Whitecaps FC. On August 24, 2021, Campagna was loaned to Canadian Premier League side York United for the remainder of the season. He made his professional debut four days later on August 28, against Forge FC.

After the 2023 season, Campagna's contract option for the 2024 season would be declined by the Whitecaps, ending his time with the club.
In April 2024, he signed a one-year contract with club options for 2025 and 2026 with Vancouver FC of the Canadian Premier League. He made his debut on May 3 against Cavalry FC. An early season injury led to him entering a battle to earn minutes, eventually becoming a consistent substitute upon his return, earning him the nickname "The Closer" for the team. After the 2024 season, the club picked up his option for the 2025 season.

In 2019, Campagna made his debut in the Canadian youth program attending a camp with the Canada U15 team.
