How to remove/prevent standing water at campsite???

[darleyhavidson]

Ok, our seasonal campsite has a low spot (approximately 20' x 10') that collects water after a good rain. Normally, it absorbs into the ground pretty quickly, however this year the soil is so saturated that the water has no where to go.

Since, it is the low spot (has high sides on all 4 sides) what can I do to minimize the pooling of water so I don't have to wade through ankle deep water when leaving my camper?

Thoughts?

A lot of the West could use that water!

Dig a ditch or pump or make a ramp?

Dump a truck load of good top soil, rake it out flat and plant grass. I see no other permanent way to fix the problem.
