The Campbell University Fighting Camels are Campbell University's NCAA Division I baseball team. The team plays its home games on campus at Taylor Field in Buies Creek, North Carolina. The team currently competes as members of the Atlantic Sun Conference but will return to the Big South Conference in 2011. The Fighting Camels competed in the Big South until 1994. Notable alumni include Jim Perry.
Since the arrival of Greg Goff the Diamond Camels have strung together the first back-to-back winning seasons in school history. The 2009 Camels went 27-24 and in 2010 followed that effort with a 28-27 mark.
The 1990 edition of the Fighting Camels went 11-31 but swept the Big South Conference tournament with a 4-0 record to earn the Fighting Camels only appearance in the 1990 NCAA Division I Baseball Tournament. However, success was short lived as the Camels lost 7-0 to Stanford University and 8-7 to Southern Illinois University at the Palo Alto Regional.
