The pilot of a small aircraft encountered deteriorating weather and inadvertently landed at an unlit private airport. At the time of touchdown, light rain had just begun to fall, and dusk light conditions prevailed. The pilot reported that trees were present at the approach end of the runway, leading him to intentionally land long to clear them.
