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.
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.

Welcome to the Finger Lakes
A park and campground on Seneca Lake
Smith Park is a classic lakeside park and campground built on the slopes of Seneca Lake in the 1970’s — enjoyed by many since the 1800’s.
In the heart of New York State’s Finger Lakes and along the Seneca Lake Wine Trail, the park and campground’s location offers the best of both nature and socializing.
Open daily from dawn to dusk, visitors can access Seneca Lake by foot from the “Green” in the middle of the park, or dirt roads on both the north and south ends of the park.

“You guys, make sure we’ve packed a lot of sunscreen and our bathingsuits. Yes, we’re going to look like pruney lobster for a weekend.” Darien Lakes State Park is a riparian paradise that’s honed to sharpen your inner aqua (wo)man. Here, you’ll be treated with a plethora of water-loving recreational activities, anything from angling in well-populated creeks to powerboating on Harow Lake’s twelve-acre meniscus. And, nestled within the area’s one-hundred and forty-two campsites are twelve primitive walk-in style sites; all other ones are well-equipped with running-water and electrical outlets. So, by all means, take a step-back from the concrete jungle and embrace all the beach, foliage-laden hiking trails Darien Lake State Park has to offer―your smartphone’s battery will be thanking you.

I wound up staying at Mission Hemlock Grove for 2 weeks in early September while my truck was getting transmission work. I had to make several day trips to Rochester and always felt safe leaving my belongings behind at site 1. There are some interesting trails and sights on the property including abandoned Christian grottos. I met some other very nice campers during my stay but always felt like I had plenty of privacy. Korey was very responsive from my experience. I’d recommend this property to someone who is boondock ready

Camp site 4 was just big enough to get a Frontier into. The sites are spaced enough that you don't see each other but could hear louder talk. Every site has a campfire ring. Porta potty was in the central field area and was getting pretty full but was stocked with TP and sanitizer. Really nice trails right on site, with a trail down to the lake.
We didn't look for the bathroom or water supply so can't comment on that.

Great little spot - we had fun swimming and paddle boarding around. Nice fire pit, picnic table, etc. neighbors are close but out of sight. Really nicely shaded beneath a ton of beautiful black locust and walnut trees.
Might not call this one child friendly, mainly due to the dock being in rough shape (splinters, nails, no ladder) and there being some poison ivy (not anywhere you want to be walking, but in some of the peripheral areas). But it was great for our adult group!

Clean, quiet, and peaceful campground. The firewood was a bit wet, so starting a fire took some effort, but overall the area is well-maintained with friendly staff. Having a private beach was very convenient. The bathhouse was also clean and comfortable. Would definitely recommend!

Awesome spot for no-frills camping. Locating the sites was a bit of a challenge due to a lack of signage, but Korey was quick to come help us figure it out. We wound up setting up at Site 3, as some other campers had claimed our spot before we arrived. The grass in the field was long, but flattened out after a few hours of foot traffic, and provided some ground padding for the tents and bare feet. Surprisingly, we did not see a single tick! Fireflies were out in droves come nightfall, though. Very magical.
The lake is absolutely stunning, and the trail down was easily navigable, albeit a steep drop. We were reprimanded by patrolling officers, as we were not made aware that swimming in the lake is strictly prohibited. Otherwise, the water was crystal clear and the lack of houses around the lake made it feel that much more untouched.
The Mission property was stunning and exploring was a highlight. The grottos provide a good refuse from the heat if you can find ‘em, and definitely added a layer of mysticism and whimsy to the trip. Would absolutely return to spend some time at the Mission!
