  let name = $('[name = name]').val();
  let cityLAT = $('[name = cityLAT]').val();
  let cityLONG = $('[name = cityLONG]').val();

It's not totally clear what you're asking, but it sounds like you don't want to use the automatically generated document ID provided by add(). If you want to use your own document ID, simply build a reference to that document, and call set() on it.

const ref = db.collection('campaigns').doc(uid);  // whatever ID you want here
ref.set({ ... });  // whatever fields you want here.
