Er, no. A yard is a single open space. Your backyard is the single open space behind (i.e., not in front of) your house.

- MacsHeadroom 4y agoIn america "backyard" often refers to an area extending beyond ones own neighbourhood. It's where the acronym "NIMBY" (Not In My Backyard) comes from. The OP could indeed be objecting to unknown people camping anywhere near their property, even off of it.
- cercatrova 4y agoAs an American, yes backyard can mean the general area where one stays, but in the specific comment above, I also took it to mean literally in someone's backyard.
