The commune is located in the northern part of the county, on the border with Bacău County. It lies on the banks of the river Șușița and its tributaries, Cremeneț and Dracea Mică. Câmpuri is crossed by the national road DN2L which connects it to the west to Soveja and Tulnici and to the southeast to Răcoasa, Străoane, Panciu, and Mărășești (where it ends in DN2). The county capital, Focșani, is 56 km (35 mi) to the southeast via route DN2D.

In July 1917, part of the Battle of Mărăști was fought in this area.
