With it sloping away from your house, it's doubtful you need the expense of a french drain.

Throw a bunch of gravel back there and call it a day.

That’s what I was thinking too. It gets really slippery when wet so I was considering just putting some rocks in there.

I second that. Gravel is easy and relatively inexpensive.

Yeah, the gravel will allow the water to drain properly. I'd put down some rolls of weed blocker, so nothing grows up through it. Then pour gravel and you're done.
