Vadaine Oliver hit the bar for County just minutes later but the scores remained level until half-time.
Barnet dominated the early exchanges of the second half and the pressure told in the 64th minute when Gambin's deflected shot wrong-footed Collin.
The Malta international doubled his tally 10 minutes later, connecting with Curtis Weston's cross to finish off a fine counter-attacking move.
County responded in the 77th minute when Jonathan Forte followed in on substitute Graham Burke's well-hit 20-yard shot but it was not enough.
