Club career

Early career

Born in Maldonado, Campaña joined Defensor Sporting's youth setup at the age of 13, from hometown side Deportivo Maldonado. In 2006, after finishing his formation, he moved back to his previous club on loan, and was assigned to the first team in Segunda División.

In January 2008 Campaña moved to fellow second division side Atenas de San Carlos also in a temporary deal, playing regularly as his side narrowly missed out promotion.

Cerro Largo

Released by Danubio in the middle of 2008, Campaña joined Cerro Largo of the Primera División. He made his debut for the club on 9 November, starting in a 5–2 away loss to Bella Vista.

Campaña spent his first season as a backup to Fernando Pérez, but was chosen as first-choice ahead of the 2009–10 campaign, overtaking Pérez and new signing Nicolás Gentilio. He was an undisputed starter for the club during year, but suffered team relegation.

After Cerro Largo's relegation Campaña was loaned to fellow top-tier club Racing de Montevideo, for one year. A second-choice to Jorge Contreras, his only match for the club occurred on 13 November 2010 in a 2–0 loss at Danubio.

Returning to Cerro Largo for 2011–12, Campaña was again an undisputed starter as his side achieved qualification for 2012 Copa Sudamericana by finishing fourth.

Defensor Sporting

In January 2013, he moved back to his first club Defensor on a six-month loan deal. An immediate starter due to Yonatan Irrazábal's injury, he finished the season with twelve appearances.

Bought outright in June 2013, Campaña became a first-choice ahead of Irrazábal, being an important unit as his side reached the semifinals of the 2014 Copa Libertadores.

Independiente

On 12 January 2016, Campaña moved abroad for the first time in his career, after agreeing to a 18-month deal with Independiente. He made his debut for the club on 6 March, starting in a 4–1 home routing of Colón.

Campaña became an immediate starter ahead of youth graduates Diego Rodríguez and Gonzalo Rehak.

Saudi Arabia

On 24 September 2020, Campaña joined Saudi Arabian club Al-Batin on a two-year contract. On 10 July 2022, Campaña renewed his contract with the club until the 2023–24 season.

On 7 June 2023, Campaña joined newly promoted Pro League side Al-Riyadh.

He was called up by Óscar Tabárez for the 2012 Summer Olympics being held in London, Great Britain, playing all three matches of the tournament as his side was knocked out in the group stage.

Campaña made his full international debut for Uruguay on 27 May 2016, replacing Martín Silva late into a 3–1 friendly win over Trinidad and Tobago.
