Campylopus is a bryophyte that mainly grows on sandy-stony soil or peat soil in alpine regions, and is usually found under forest, at forest edges or in mountain streams and similar places.

Campylopus is characterized by a slender plant body, densely caespitose, with stems and leaves, bearing dense rhizoids; its color is green, or brownish green, with a glossy sheen. Its stem is erect, some branched and some unbranched. It also has slender hair-pointed leaf tips, the cells at the leaf base are short and broadly square, the upper part narrowly rectangular, and near the margin spindle-shaped or rectangular.
