Set a laser up, find the low spot.
Or just observe how the water recedes.
Practical low point is probably already known.
Years of pulling a enddump, I could likely eyeball the slope to find the low spot. OP worried about digging in wrong place.

I am not installing/using a sump pump. If I lived there permanently, that course of action might be more feasible.
From where I sit you have limited options;
1)Witch about it.
2)Move
3)Divert the water before it drains to your site
4)Fill area to raise grade.
5)Install a gravity flow drainage system
6)Pump water out of area.
1 is what you want to stop. 2&4 You don't want to do. 3&5 a lot of work, and much in areas you don't control.
6, once the bucket is in place, and water collects rent a 2 inch trash pump for a couple of hours. Your feet get wet on the way to get pump, and while you put suction hose in, but water is soon gone.
