The striker, 21, has been in impressive form for the Magpies so far this season, scoring seven goals in 12 Premier League appearances.
He is in line for an international debut next week when the Three Lions take on France in a friendly, should Fabio Capello opt to give him the nod.
Campbell, who has earned more than 70 caps for England, praised Carroll's ability and is confident he will take the chance if given to him.
"Andy has a lot to learn and a lot of hard work still to come, but he's a young lad with a lot of ambition and deserves his crack at the England team," he said in The Sun.
"He is a raw talent - he has lots of energy, is a handful for any defender, good in the air, holds the ball up well and is willing to fight for the cause, both in attack and defence.
"He puts his head in for the ball where a lot of players wouldn't. He has the potential for sure."
Campbell added: "I have spoken to him, not necessarily giving him advice but, of course, if he asked for some, I'd give it to him."
