DP 's friends camping on our campsite

DP, in his desire to 'help' and solve problems, has suggested to a friend of his (actually a friend of another friend) that he brings his family (DW and twin DS) to the campsite where we are going next week.
Friend (Bob) was due to travel abroad, but realised that DCs passports are out of date. My DP immediately rang him, saying it was a shame to lose their holiday etc and basically railroaded (imo) Bob into looking up the website while they were on the phone.
I have met the DW once. She is nice, but I'm looking forward to my family holiday with my DC, which is rare now they're 23 and 20. I wasn't expecting to factor in another family to our plans.
Quote from DP ' Bob and I can go cycling, and youve met Sally, she's nice'.
AIBU to want the holiday we've planned?

God, I would be SOOOOOOOOOOO pissed off if my dh did that.
It reminds me of a thread on here, years ago, where the OP and family were going to France for a family holiday and (d)h arranged for one of his cycling mates to meet them there but to put his bike on their car's cycle rack (meaning there wasn't enough room for the family's bikes). He was planning on spending a large proportion of the holiday going off cycling with his mate whilst the OP looked after the kids.

Basically, yeah, Sally might be very pleasant but that doesn't mean you want to go on fucking HOLIDAY with her!!!

He often goes cycling by himself and we do our own thing. I don't want to feel forced into doing something with another family because both dads are together.

So basically your DP wants to spend his holiday cycling with a mate and expects you and your adult DCs to be ok with that. Personally I wouldn't bother going
