She scored 11 goals in 16 appearances during the Clausura 2022, finishing tied for third place with Stephany Mayor among all players in goals scored during the tournament, and leading Club América in scoring.
On 25 July 2022, Camberos publicly accused a fan of harassing her via false social media accounts and in person. Other Liga MX Femenil players joined her in talking about the harassment they regularly experience.{{cite news |url=https://us.marca.com/soccer/futbol-femenino/2022/07/26/62dfda4ce2704e23348b45c5.html |title=Scarlett Camberos denuncia en redes a un hombre que acosa a jugadoras del América Femenil |date=July 26, 2022 |access-date=August 26, 2022 |newspaper=MARCA}}
In August 2022, Camberos participated in the 2022 The Women's Cup international club friendly tournament with Club América. She was named player of the match for her performance in América's win against Tottenham Hotspur in which she scored the match-winning goal.{{cite news |url=https://the18.com/en/soccer-news/womens-cup-most-valuable-player-gets-bag-of-groceries |title=Player Of The Match?

During the Apertura 2022 tournament, Camberos was a key player for América to return to a league final once again after four years, with noteworthy performances in the Liguilla phase of the tournament, with the most notable being her performance during the semi-final series against Chivas in which she gave two assists and scored one goal.{{Cite web |last=Huerta |first=César |date=2022-11-07 |title=América eliminó a Chivas en las Semifinales de la Liga MX Femenil |url=https://mexico.as.com/futbol/america-elimino-a-chivas-en-las-semifinales-de-la-liga-mx-femenil-n/ |access-date=2023-03-24 |website=Diario AS |language=es-mx}}{{Cite web |title=América femenil se acerca a la final con espectacular goleada ante Chivas |url=https://www.publimetro.com.mx/deportes/2022/11/05/america-femenil-golea-3-1-a-chivas-femenil-en-el-estadio-azteca-semifinal-de-ida/ |access-date=2023-03-24 |website=Publimetro México |date=5 November 2022 |language=es}}
On 21 March 2023, Club América announced that Camberos would continue her career with NWSL side Angel City after Camberos requested the club to transfer her out due to safety reasons following multiple stalking and online-harassment incidents against her by a male fan, and the lack of guarantees by the Mexican authorities, whom were only able to execute a 36 hours house arrest against the harasser due to lack of regulation in Mexico's penalty code when it comes to harassment and stalking. In turn, Club América invited Mexican legislators to enact more strict laws against online-harassment, stalking, and gender-based violence.{{Cite web |date=2023-03-22 |title=Camberos joins Angel City after online threats |url=https://www.espn.com/soccer/mexico-mexw/story/4907500/scarlett-camberos-leaves-america-due-to-safety-concerns-from-online-threatsjoins-angel-city-fc |access-date=2023-03-22 |website=ESPN.com |language=en}} Camberos' sudden exit from Club América and Liga MX Femenil due to the constant harassment she received made headlines in Mexico, and was seen by commentators as an example of the violence that women in Mexico have faced for years.{{Cite web |last=Mancera |first=Diego |date=2023-03-22 |title=La violencia machista 'expulsa' de México a la futbolista Scarlett Camberos |url=https://elpais.com/mexico/2023-03-22/la-violencia-machista-expulsa-de-mexico-a-la-futbolista-scarlett-camberos.html |access-date=2023-03-22 |website=El País México |language=es-MX}} At the time of her exit, Camberos was considered to be Club America's best player, the captain of the team, as well as one of the best players in Liga MX Femenil.{{Cite web |last=OnceDiario |title=Perdió una estrella |url=https://www.oncediario.com/notas/43460-america-femenil-scarlett-camberos-liga-mx-femenil-denuncia-acosador |access-date=2023-03-23 |website=www.oncediario.com |language=es-ES}}
