Campbell was born in The Pas, Manitoba (Canada) in the family of Creek native John Campbell (1875 – 1917) and French Adeline Beauchamp (1877 – ?). He won ''The Pas Dog Derby'' in 1916, the first annual of long dog sled race held in his hometown as a part of ''Northern Manitoba Trappers' Festival''.
However, he became best known in 1917 for winning the ''Red River Derby'', the Winnipeg – Saint Paul dog sled race, which was part of the Saint Paul Winter Carnival organized by the ''Saint Paul Outdoor Sports Carnival Association'' from 27 January to 3 February 1917. His younger brother Gabriel, who also competed in the race, finished in fourth place. According to Campbell, by this success he fulfilled the last wish of his father, who died two weeks before the race started. The race gained such widespread popularity that the Canadian government was reporting the news of the Campbell brothers' progress to the Canadian troops fighting overseas in the First World War.
Albert Campbell died on 30 November 1961. He is buried at Saint Mary's Cemetery in Winnipeg, Manitoba. His story inspired the producers of the ''Iron Will'' film.
