I've been part of 4 campaigns, but the latest one I built a really cool character and I want to keep playing with this character. Do we always have to start a new campaign with a new character? Or can I ask my DM to just let my group keep our characters if we want?
Of course you can ask. If your DM and your group have no objections its fine. You can also agree that only some keep the characters and others make new ones. It's your game. Do what makes you happy as long as you don't ruin someone else's fun.
The only mechanical complication is if you want to keep your current level but everyone else wants to start at level 1. Then you may have to de-level your character.

This can be resolved by creating the character the way you want it, then make copies. You can then add to their name whatever campaign they are assigned to, for ease of navigation, and adjust the character's level. This way the same character can progress at different rates, be at different levels.
It would also allow you to experiment, make adjustments to the manner in which you level per campaign.
Only thing to be leery of is you can't have two characters with the EXACT same name. I had this happen with two of my players who play the same character but at a higher level in two separate campaigns. They were not able to "pick up" their character it remained unassigned and gave them an error message until I change the name slightly.
