Aperol is an Italian bitter aperitif that is a bright orange color. An aperitif is typically dry rather than sweet and a cocktail only needs a small amount to get the flavor you are looking for.

Can I use Campari instead of Aperol?

Aperol and Campari are similar, but Campari is much more bitter and will change the taste of the drink, so I don't recommend it.
