Campbell was born in New Zealand in 1904 to Lt-Col Robert Ormus Campbell and Beatrice (née Cadell).. He married Sheila Milligan on 14 July 1934 at Littleton Church, near Shepperton. In 1939, he was a farmer in Devon, living with his wife, a film scenario writer, and widowed mother, Beatrice. In 1951, he was living at the infamous Knowstone Manor in Devon, a swastika-shaped farmhouse built in 1938 by a German fascist.
