Campbell Hall station is a commuter rail stop owned by Metro-North Railroad serving trains on the Port Jervis Line, located just south of the hamlet of Campbell Hall, New York in the town of Hamptonburgh. The station is located at the end of Watkins Road, off Egbertson Road (County Route 77). The station contains decorative lights, a long platform roof and an elevated mini-high platform at the east end of the station for access by riders in wheelchairs. Parking is on a permit/meter system.

The station is on the site of MQ Crossing, the former junction of the Erie Railroad Graham Line, a then freight-only bypass of Middletown, and the railroad's Montgomery Branch, which provided service south to Goshen and north to the village of Montgomery.[4] The former Campbell Hall station was located on the Montgomery Branch, at the crossing with NY 207. Service at the current Campbell Hall station began on April 18, 1983 when the Metropolitan Transportation Authority moved service off the former Erie Railroad main line onto the Graham Line.[3]
