History
The Campo Superintendency was established by separating it from the Pala Superintendency in 1910. At the time of its creation, the Campo, LaPosta, Manzanita, Cuyapaipe, and LaLaguna Reservations were under its jurisdiction. Prior to 1910, the Campo School and Reservation had been under the supervision of the Pala Superintendency, Campo being one of three of its districts.

In 1920, the Campo Superintendency merged with Soboba Superintendency and Pala Superintendency to form the Mission Agency, located at Riverside, California. Campo School continued to operate until it was abolished in 1933.
