After a bit of digging it appears the best way to do this might be in two steps: 1. Create the campaign 2. Then add criteria separately
According to the location targeting guide<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/guides/location-targeting>, "you need to create Location objects for each region you want to target and add them using CampaignCriteronService.mutate." And looking back over the aforementioned add_campaign_targeting_criteria.rbexample it appears an existing campaign ID is necessary to add criteria. So it appears OP might be answered, but in case I've missed something or if I'm going about this the wrong way feel free to add your feedback.
