Welcome,
Mission Conesus, originally built by Franciscan Catholics. These lands were likely chosen for many reasons. Suffice it to say there is something special here. Come discover for yourself.
Lose yourself here, or maybe find yourself, among the Hemlocks. First, a bit about the terrain. There is much in the way of forest, very mature, and a broad array of plant species.
Elevation differences are vast, land to the west is uphill for quite a ways, and downhill to the east, to Hemlock lake below, so the world here can feel a bit tilted.
We adjoin 150 acres of nature conservancy lands that nobody seems to know about. These lands are for respectful public daytime use. We also adjoin 6600 acres of NY state forest which is public property. Exploring all that is here would take a very long time! Want to get away? Welcome to our little slice of heaven.
We are just getting started in the camping space, but for now, we're accepting bookings and looking forward to hosting you, at the mission.
See the provided map for site locations. Site 1 is open field and is near the pavilion, sites 2 and 3 are along the woods, and site 4 is the most private and tucked into the woods. We looking forward to hosting you, at the mission.
My son and I had a very pleasant stay overall.
We were there to camp overnight to be able to spend the day fishing on Hemlock Lake. (Which is absolutely beautiful if one isn’t aware) we also just camped out of the back of my truck- so it was very low key. The path and site were well mowed and easy to identify.
Korey was very great with communication.
The property itself has a curious vibe about it, and we did have a good time exploring the grounds a bit before we checked out. Overall-great for a family or someone looking to spend the weekend near the lake and aren’t afraid to take responsibility for themselves.
Will definitely come back- we love Hemlock.
I wish our host cared a little more about his property. The space itself was quite nice but there it's a lot of room for improvement! The sites were not marked so we had no idea where we were. The fire pits were a shambles and the pit toilet was filled with garbage. There were no picnic tables to be found anywhere near the sites. All in all a bit of a disappointment.
