Campus Club was one of the undergraduate eating clubs at Princeton University. Located on the corner of Washington Road and Prospect Avenue, Campus was founded in 1900. Campus was one of the eating clubs that abandoned the selective bicker process to choose members non-selectively, a status it held for over 20 years.

In 2004, in an attempt to restore the waning popularity of the club, the club's board pressured the undergraduate officers to reinstate bicker, causing Campus to become one of six selective clubs (out of eleven total clubs). However, due to the unpopularity of bicker among its members, Campus Club returned to being a sign-in club in the spring of 2005. Unfortunately, in the face of another year of exceptionally low membership and resulting financial trouble, Campus Club closed later the same year.

In November, 2005, the former members and alumni of Campus Club voted to donate the building to the University, under the condition that the mansion remain a social venue for Princeton students.
