Il seguito dell'Armistizio che proclamò la fine della guerra, ha ripreso a correre e nel 1920 Campari ha vinto nel circuito del Mugello in Toscana con l'Alfa Romeo. Ha ripetuto come campione a Mugello l'anno successivo ed è arrivato terzo alla Targa Florio ma non ha guadagnato un altro maggiore campionato finché ha catturato il [ [Prix francese Grande]] in 1924 quando era la parte di una squadra di Romeo di Alfa di tre-uomo potente con [ [Gastone Brilli-Peri|il Brilli-Peri di Gastone di Conto]] e [ [Antonio Ascari]] nelle automobili disegnate da [ [Vittorio Jano]].
Oltre al suo amore di correre in automobile, Giuseppe Campari ha avuto due altre passioni: il cibo, nelle grandi quantità che ha amava prepararsi da sè, e l'opera. Benedetto da una grande voce come baritono, cantava professionalmente mentre partecipava alle gare automobilistiche.
The 1925 racing season was less than successful for Campari as he and the Alfa Romeo team withdrew from the French Grand Prix in July after Ascari crashed and died. In 1926, [[Maserati]] came out with the Tipo 26, its first highly competitive race car that led to Maserati winning the Constructors' title and [[Ernesto Maserati]] taking the Italian driving championship in 1927. Despite Maserati's strong performances, Campari claimed victory for Alfa Romeo in the 1927 [[Coppa Acerbo]].
The 1928 season saw Giuseppe Campari win his second consecutive Coppa Acerbo and his first at the [[Mille Miglia]]. He earned a second-place finish in the Targa Florio, a race he entered several times and although he frequently finished near the top, he never managed a win. The following year he repeated as champion at the Mille Miglia and along with top drivers such as [[Malcolm Campbell]] and [[Rudolf Caracciola]], he traveled to [[Ireland]] to compete in the inaugural [[Irish International Grand Prix]] at Phoenix Park in [[Dublin]]. Run in front of more than 100,000 spectators, Campari was hit in the eye by a flying small rock but was successfully treated in hospital and the race was won by the [[Russia]]n émigré, [[Boris Ivanowski]]. Campari also raced in the Tourist Trophy Races at the Ards course in [[Belfast]] where he finished second to Caracciola's [[Mercedes-Benz|Mercedes]].

In 1930, [[Tazio Nuvolari]] joined Campari on the Alfa Romeo team. After a sensational debut season, Nuvolari and Campari combined to win their first [[Italian Grand Prix]], a victory that made them national heroes for taking the championship from the French who had won it for the past three years. That same year, Campari won his third Coppa Acerbo but for 1933 he became part of the Maserati team with [[Baconin Borzacchini]] and [[Luigi Fagioli]]. Campari won his second French Grand Prix driving for Maserati, but at age 41 was ready to retire at the end of the season. The [[Italian Grand Prix]] on September 10, 1933 at the [[Autodromo Nazionale Monza]] in Monza, Italy was to be his last race. After 20 years without any major accidents, disaster stuck in one of the blackest days in Grand Prix racing history. While leading the race, Campari was instantly killed when his car crashed after skidding in a sharp turn on a patch of leaked engine oil. Immediately behind him in second place, team-mate Baconin Borzacchini tried unsuccessfully to avoid Campari's wrecked vehicle and was killed when his car veered off the track. Later on, when the race was restarted, the vehicle of Polish driver, [[Stanislas Czaykowski|Count Stanislas Czaykowski]], crashed and caught on fire, burning him to death.
