The land at Campbells Bay was first purchased by John Logan Campbell in 1845. In the 1890s, Duncan Campbell, known for his shoe company, bought land in the area.[5]

The Bay's beach has, along with adjacent Murrays Bay and Mairangi Bay, undergone civil works projects since 2004 to improve stormwater management.[6]
