However, he does apologise to her and his family, colleagues, staff and the community for letting them down.
He has asked for his family’s privacy to be respected and says it will be a difficult time.
Mr Campbell says he will remain 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,” Mr Campbell said in the statement.
Mr Campbell has been under pressure to resign several times, most recently for his handling of an accident on the F3 north of Sydney. The accident left motorists stranded for hours.
The Opposition had also called for him to stand down over the tens of millions lost on the scrapped CBD Metro.
