About Gem Island

Gem Island is a single campsite island on Lake George. Located just northeast of Phantom Island, it is ideal for small groups. There is boat activity on both sides of the island, and it provides beautiful views of the lake and the surrounding mountains.

These photos provide a glimpse of the view and features of Gem Island on Lake George, which will help you determine whether it would be a good island camping option for you to consider. The island has shallow water all around which is ideal for little children, and you can swim over to Little Gem Island and discover that island. Gem Island has a platform that sits in the sun with both southern and northern views. It is very open to the wind which also keeps mosquitos away.
