Cameron, who played as a wingman, joined North Melbourne in just their second VFL season. While at North Melbourne he regularly represented the Victorian interstate side, appearing in a total of 11 games including at the 1930 Adelaide Carnival. He was North's playing coach for four games in 1932.

Dick Taylor was appointed captain-coach in 1932. He got suspended after a fiery game and was barred from coaching for 4 weeks. Charlie acted as caretaker coach during Taylor's absence.[1]

During the 1934 season Cameron crossed to Fitzroy and was used as a forward, kicking 23 goals in his first season and 24 in his second. He captained the club in 1935 and later, in 1948, returned as their non-playing coach for the year.
