A campaign is a series of related adventures within the same setting. A setting is the background world for multiple campaigns. If I am doing a game within the same genre, I generally use the same setting.

For example, in a horror setting, I would imagine that you could have multiple campaigns, each with their own unique Big Bad, with each adventure within the campaign contributing to the defeat of the Big Bad in some fashion. If it was a secret horror setting, the Big Bad might be a single supernatural monster that was preying on the human population in a fashion that was objectionable to the PCs. The PCs might have to find themselves other supernatural creatures to ally with to take down the Big Bad, with each alliance requiring it's own adventure. But the defeat of one Big Bad does not mean the end of the setting, it is just the end of a campaign.
