I wouldn't worry about the floor. Plus I second what Buzz said about the room, you can never have enough it seems. I have a 10 X 12 that i inherited from my grandpa (they will last forever!) but the one that we use all the time is a 14 X 16 with 5 foot walls. The extra headspace is a must. Even if you pack it somewhere with horses it works fine, and if you're at the truck the size isn't an issue. Here's a couple of pictures of ours at work on a weeklong elk hunt about 8 miles from the truck. My dad's sitting in front of it. Also you can see how it got there on the horse! Get a wood stove and you can weather about anything.
