Yes, it is volatile enough to smell it, but the amount is very, very low.
Thanks to the (also) very low odour treshold (=high odour potency) you can smell it.

How can you separate salt and camphor?
Camphor is a volatile solid i.e. its vapour pressure becomes equal to the atmospheric pressure much below the melting point. But, common salt is non-volatile. Hence, camphor may be very easily separated from common salt by a physical process, SUBLIMATION! props to yahoo answers

What is the effect of soluble volatile substance on the boiling point of a water solution?
A soluble volatile substance will lower the boiling point of a solution. The volatile substance will boil at a lower temperature than the water component, thus causing the solution to boil at a lower temperature.
What are the use of salicylic acid camphor and castor oil in the preparation of collodion?
they act as plasticizers, resulting in a flexible collodion after the more volatile solvents evaporate
