The Robins were successful members of the Midlands Football Association for the better part of four decades, winning a total of 9 flags.  In 1937 and 1938 this competition was split into northern and southern sections with Campbell Town enjoying premiership success in the former in 1937.

At the end of the 1971 season, the MFA disbanded, and Campbell Town crossed to the Fingal District Football Association, remaining there until that competition too was dismantled two decades later.  During the course of their twenty-one season stint in the FDFA the Robins contested a total of 9 grand finals, half a dozen of which were won.  The side was at its strongest during its first decade in the competition, only twice failing to reach the grand final.

These days Campbell Town competes in Division Two of the Northern Tasmanian Football Association, in which competition it has so far claimed 3 senior premierships, beating Evandale in the 1998 grand final, Perth in 2000, and St Patrick's Old Collegians in 2001.  Remarkably, the club's 2000 and 2001 flags were achieved undefeated.

Probably the most noteworthy player in the club's history to date was Ray Webb, winner of four Fisher Medals as best and fairest in the MFA, plus at least five club best and fairest awards (the records for some years having been lost).
