Great spot, was perfect for what we needed before heading to crater lake. I really enjoyed the pea gravel it was very nice for our tent :)

Great stay for Newberry Caldera!
Private safe space within an easy drive to Newberry Caldera. The host was responsive and instructions were clear. We loved meeting Light and we would happily stay here again.

Solid place to crash for a night...
Pulled in pretty late but nevertheless was greeted firstly by a rather exuberant German Shepard that was off-leash, shortly later the host. The dog is completely harmless but I was worried about her running in front of the truck; proceed slowly IMHO.
Campsite is primarily designed for tent campers offering a large ring of pea gravel under shade sails on guy wires strung across some trees that have been topped - read safe, no widow makers to fall on you. There's an area off to the right large enough for a full size truck or a camper van and that's where we camped. There's a porta-potty which was plenty clean enough and a trail that leads to a picnic table. There's a trash and recycling can which makes disposing of waste easy, no need to worry about packing it out.
The camp is aptly named, it's a rest stop it doesn't really offer anything more of interest; it's a place to crash for the night no more no less. You'll hear some barking dogs in the distance (not on their property) at night but nothing annoying and in the morning you'll likely hear some roosters crowing; it's your typical farm area stuff and if it bothers you I doubt you do much camping. Didn't note any bad bug issues, usual moths and crane flies, if there were mosquitos it wasn't much.
Never interacted with the hosts again after the initial instructions on where to put the truck, just packed up and drove out the gate easy peasy!

Great central location at Molly's place if you are visiting the Mt Bachelor and the Cascade Lakes and also the Crater Lake area with driving times about 1 hour in each direction. Directions to Mollys were spot on. Facilities were clean and the shade sails helped with the heat.
Do keep in mind that it is the Oregon outback and it does get dusty and the temperatures can fluctuate over 30C/86f in 8 hours during the summer.
Pretty clear stargazing spot with regular howling coyotes in the distance.

Great!
Awesome and beautiful site. The host was extremely informative and answered all our questions. Made our trip to Bend amazing! (Dog was sweet bonus)
