Sounds right.
It reminds me of some of my older relatives from Rochester, NY and also of the mom on That 70’s Show.

It sounds like upper Ohio / Michigan / Minnesota / Illinois.

+1. Chicago-area inlaws kind of do this. Not hearing Long Island at all.

When you tried to spell out ki-yamp... did you mean for the long i sound?
"kigh-yamp"
or more like a nasal eh?
"keh-yamp" ?
In an upstate NY accent, we nasalize the short a sound when it comes before a nasal consonant (n, m).
It's called "ae raising" and you can hear examples here:

More like key-yeah-mp

Nah. That’s where I’m from and I feel like these aren’t stand out words for us. Sounds like Chicago.

Sounds like Gina from RHOC. She’s from the south shore of Long Island.

I think of it as country.
My sister lives in Appalachia and I hear this type of pronunciation there.

Definitely NOT the UP. Grew up there. No one would ever pronounce camp that way. Can't remember the other word but dollars to donuts it isn't said in the UP the way it is described. We have a lot of weird verbal tics and mannerisms but what was described isn't one of them, don you know, you betcha!?!
