my friends and i were going to go to texas for spring break, we were wondering if anyone knew of a place to camp that had a native indian theme to it. Like in the movies were there are mountains and streams. If any one knows of any were worth going please let me know
Answer
Like backpacking? campgrounds? we need more info here. Does it have to be in the Dallas area, or texas in general? If you want mountains you have to head west. Guadalupe mountains national park or big bend national park are both swell and have both options of campgrounds or backpacking. Guadalupe has the highest point in texas. There is Big Thicket national park which is much closer to Dallas, but its a strecth to say there are mountains. but its very pretty. Enchanted rock state park is a swell place and has a native american flavor too, I am not sure what the story is with camping there however.

Welcome to Texas! I love camping here. Check out the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

I am from Lufkin...which is about halfway to Houston from you. I have personally been to Lake Livingston State Park, and Ratcliff Lake (which is a forestry park...neither state nor national). To the west, there is Colorado Bend...and Enchanted Rock...these are in hill country toward Austin. All of these camps are beautiful. Sorry I don't have more experience in your immediate area but these parks are within a few hours of DFW.
There is all kinds of camping everywhere. Take a drive near a body of water and you are bound to see signs. You can also sometimes find cabin rentals listed with hotels...and where you find cabins, sometimes you find more primitive camping.
You will also find recommendations by asking around at the local camping stores....I think there are REI, BassPro Shop, Cabella's, and Academy stores in DFW, or even the hunting section at Walmart. Just chat up the locals where the outdoorsmen hang out.
