Chemical repellants are the best way to keep gnats away from you. Look for a bug spray with deet or permethrin. Some camping equipment comes treated with these products. Deet spray will need to be reapplied frequently.

If you'd prefer not to use chemicals on your skin, there are some home remedies to keep gnats away. Rubbing basil or mint leaves on your skin will help keeps gnats away, as they hate the smell. You can also make a homemade gnat spray with one ounce of canola oil and a combination of essential oils (four drops each of cedar and lavender, two drops each of eucalyptus and rosemary, and one drop of peppermint).
