Mr Campbell said he would remain in parliament as the member for Keira.
"I am incredibly proud of my achievements while serving as minister for Transport, Roads, Police, Small Business, the Illawarra, Regional Development and Water Utilities," he said.
Mr Campbell has been under pressure to resign on numerous occasions this year, most recently for his handling of accident on the F3 north of Sydney which left motorists stranded for hours.
