Hiking in the rain today I started thinking "what was the worst night camping I've ever had"?

The one that takes the cake was 10 years ago - I was road tripping with a friend of mine and the destination that night was Eureaka Springs, Arkansas. We got to the camp ground in the middle of night, parked the car, and just pitched the tent as quickly as we could because it was really cold. We got in and fell quickly to sleep.

A couple hours later I woke up and instant thought two things; something smells strange and I'm wet. I sit up to realize it is poaring with rain and muddy water is gushing into the tent through the zipper and we are lying in about 6 inches of it. The smell was the mud. I woke up my friend and we got out. Only then we realized that we had camped righ at the bottom of two hills We ended up trying to sleep in the car - wet and cold - didn't work out so well.

What about you? Worst ever?
