Something that will support my neck/head when sitting around the fire. It needs to support 200 lb and last longer than a few seasons. I'm willing to pay for quality. Been looking and haven't found anything stellar. Any recommendations?

This is the most comfortable chair I've ever used.

You can nap in it. It's close to the ground to support your legs and can rock back a bit in soft ground to angle you back a bit. Without a doubt my most favorite chair.
Also it has built in straps, so it can easily be carried long distances like a backpack with ease.
I would carry this chair (like a backpack) with me to my favorite lookout every evening at sunset a few hundred yards away and hang out in couch potato luxury watching the sun sets.
Since it's all mesh, you never get a sweaty butt... Really important in hot climates.
It's inexpensive and lightweight. If it wears out in a year, so what. Buy another one.

The "gravity" chairs are nice if you have space. I spend many hours on the dock during the summer, awake, sleeping, awake, sleeping. For the trips, I have Kijaro chairs that are like $30, very supportive, and durable for 6'0 plus person. They don't have neck support though.

OK a "camp" chair...... I'm afraid anything with that name attached will not meet your needs. Why? Because they're my needs too and I've looked at them ALL. Believe me. My solution was to find a comfy chair and disregard the extra weight and cost, as I believe you have stated in your opening remarks. So I offer you the humble Gravity chair. This is the one I'm using and it's quite good though there are many to choose from on say Amazon.
High back, sturdy, oversized for comfort and room, and though heavy-ish at 21 lbs it's still easily carried. You can sit upright perfectly, or lean it back and take a nap! It's a bit pricey but not crazily so at $119. Holds 350 lbs!
They also make an identical looking rocking chair that I might have gotten instead, if I wasn't usually on sand.
Let me know what you think because I know of other choices that may work.

Funny story, it's got real wood arm rests but they were finished in a cheap looking thin satin clear coat of some kind. Durable enough but many reviews of this chair called it fake wood plastic arm rests and it took a good long look for me to see that it wasn't actually plastic. So I gave them a light sanding and brushed on some Helmsman's Spar Varnish, a good quality marine varnish used on boats, since I'm usually in a marine environment. Three coats later the wood shines like a polished gemstone and it brought out and magnified all the grains in the wood plus a light crossways 'flaming' that was not at all visible before.

I had a chance to try out this chair last weekend, very comfortable. A bit large but well worth it and it reclines.

Yup, the ZG (zero gravity) chairs are just what you're looking for. Mine has the "Timber Ridge" logo on it. Has a removable head rest, which of course, means high back to support your neck/head. Mine has plastic arm rests, camo fabric, removable cupholder and can lock into any reclined position. Got it at Costco a couple of years ago for around $45 - should have bought 2 . The best thing hasn't been mentioned yet about these ZG chairs. And that is - it gets your feet off the ground. And outdoors with crawling bugs and critters that are attracted to the heat of a campfire - well, 'nuff said...Something that will support my neck/head when sitting around the fire.
