What kind of a campaign are you talking about? Is it manually tagged?– nyuenMar 12, 2015 at 15:40

Do you have a development environment with a separate Analytics profile?– Stephen Ostermiller ♦Mar 12, 2015 at 17:40

Are you able to create a test property for testing purposes only so as to not pollute the prod data?– nyuenMar 12, 2015 at 17:55

- Create a separate Google Analytics profile for your dev environment.
- Configure your dev server to use a different Google Analytics snippet
- Test your campaign URLs against your dev server
- View realtime analytics to verify that the the campaign parameters do what you want as they come in
- Test the functionality
- The next day view the dev analytics reports and make sure everything was tracked properly
