Hi Joel,
Try installing OSGeo4W if you haven't already.
Also try setting GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH in your settings.py file to point to the
.dll file in the OSGeo4W bin directory.
See here for instructions:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.6/ref/contrib/gis/gdal/#gdal-library-path
.

Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Alexei
