    Old time horse packers used to use a really thick hawser type rope, made into a big loop, but a little smaller than their tent, then drape the canvas floor on top of it. The rope served to insure that water went under the tarp instead of running on top of the floor. Kinda cool, but heavy! Hey, if you have an equine friend to carry it, why not?

    Does this mean you can't connect to the trees? In essence, HAVE to use a tent?
    A large tarp, like a Superfly, etc, will give you Great coverage and give you wind protection and pitch high enough to stand up in some tarps.
    I like minimal touching of the ground, myself. Just a small "doormat" if you will to keep my feet and socks clean just before I get into the hammy. It makes it easier for "Leave No Trace" camping and I don't have to worry about the ground in site selection.

    Good luck in your search.
    Enjoy and have fun with your family, before they have fun without you
