This may be here somewhere but why not add your tip for camping when the rain comes in a tent

Please share your saving tips

1. Do not dig a trench, oldtimer and young kids love this method, but it can cause serios erosion and bad tent sites for future campers

2.Try putting the ground cloth inside the tent (but do NOT have one underneath outside at the same time)
Groundwater leaks will stay under the tarp next to the tent bottom, this doesn't help with the leaking tent but helps groundwater

3. Pack clothes in plastic baggies if more than a 10% chance of rain, at least your clothes stay dry
