Summary
No reservations or permits are needed, and there is a small nightly fee. Amenities include vault toilets, hand-pump drinking water, picnic tables, fire rings, and a small boat launch—ideal for tent campers or small RVs (no hookups). Surrounded by dense forest, it's a peaceful, rustic spot with great wildlife viewing and access to nearby hiking trails like the Bruno's Run Trail. Best visited from late spring through early fall, Gemini Lake offers a secluded, nature-immersive camping experience without modern distractions.

Camping Essential Practices
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you to keep campsites clean and protect wildlife.
Respect Wildlife
Observe animals from a distance, store food securely, and never feed wildlife to maintain natural behavior and safety.
Know Before You Go
Check weather, fire restrictions, trail conditions, and permit requirements to ensure a safe and well-planned trip.
Minimize Campfire Impact
Use established fire rings, keep fires small, fully extinguish them, or opt for a camp stove when fires are restricted.
Leave What You Find
Preserve natural and cultural features by avoiding removal of plants, rocks, artifacts, or other elements of the environment.
