Looking for a comfortable high back folding camp chair. Somewhat compact, easy to fold up. Any one got a good one?

Costco has these (online only) https://www.costco.com/rio-swinging-...000079781.html . The have a nice high back, and if you can't buy from costco there are other versions just google high back camping chair.

Last count , we have 6 different pairs of camp chairs .
We also have 8 coolers !
Some are for around a campfire and have burn holes in them . Some are for curling up in to watch the stars . A couple high backs for napping in . And the always popular low back beach chairs for concerts .
Haven't found the perfect chair yet , but we continue the search .

Check out these rocking chairs. I bought a couple at Ace Hardware.

I really don't want the weight and moving parts of a rocker. I do want a high back, easy to fold and light weight chair.

We have a pair of these chairs .
They're my favorite . Vented high back , it's more of an adjustable seating position than a true rocker .
Plus the front angled legs are fixed , so when you get up out of the chair , the legs make contact with the ground and you can put your weight on the arm rests to easily raise up out of the chair .
They fold up nicely and come with quality storage bags .
They are a little heavier but not much .

I didn't think they were all that heavy:

Open Size (L x W x H): 29.4 x 25.8 x 39 in
Folded Size (L x W x H): 8.1 x 8.7 x 43.5 in
Seat Height: 19.7 in
Weight Capacity: 250 lb
Unit Weight: 13.2 lb

Features:
-Patented Spring-Action Rocking Technology™ for a Smooth Rocking Experience
-Folds up Neatly into Its Own Carry Bag for Effortless Packing and Portability
-Full-Size Seat Offers Roomy Comfort, but Packs Down Small
-Mesh Backrest and Supportive Armrests Keep You Cool and Comfy

Maybe you're looking for some of the old aluminum chairs with mesh fabric. They're nice and light weight but take up a lot of space.

(It says these weigh 9 lbs each.)

Looks like ICECO has some really nice chairs, not cheap.

Those Iceco chairs do look nice. FWIW, I use the zero gravity type recliners. Comfortable, durable and pretty easy on the wallet.

We have these from Sam's Club. I can only handle a chair with a pretty good upright back. They have reasonably high backs. Depends on your height.
