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.

West Texas meets all of your criteria. As the first person said, Big Bend and Guadalupe National Parks are great. Another place that I really love is Davis Mountains State Park. There is even an Indian Lodge if you dont want to rough it. The only problem with all of these places is they are a long way from any major airports, if you are going to fly. I live in Texas and visit these places often, even though they are 6 to 8 hours away. They are totally worth it!

Out of the entire state, Enchanted Rock seems to fit your criteria the best. An hour or so out of Austin, it has a very indian Like Flavor. It is home to the 2nd largest rock in america. It has very good hiking trails, as well as being able to climb up the rock, with some caves to explore too.
