Tips on being camped botlane
So I tend to win bot lane really early, and thus I get get 4 man ganked every time I return to lane for the rest of the game. What do you do in this kind of situation?

Not die. I get that it seems like a stupid answer, but if you make it not worth, for the enemy team to send four bot, they'll stop doing it. If you keep dying to ganks, they'll keep ganking, they'll have no reason not to. Focus on keeping areas well warded, and be cautious when enemy laners go missing.
If they're diving you when you're full health, then there's very little you -can- do to fix that. You can try to position yourself more advantageously, or try to escape, but it may not always work out.
At those times, try to recognise the point when the mid leaves to come and dive you, and tell your mid laner to ward up and push the tower. If the enemy mid is roaming, then it means they have an advantage in some way, so you might have to tell your mid to watch out as well. When the enemy expends resources (gold, time, team members) to come gank you, you can tell your team to focus your own resources in mid to get an advantage there. When the mid tower goes down, that'll be a good advantage to your team.
Of course, if the enemy mid has already taken tower and continues to gank, then it's just the natural progression of a losing game. At those times, it's best to take it in stride if you can, and just move on to the next game.
Establish wards, take note of which lane leashed/which side of the opposing jungle is currently empty so you can know roughly when the enemy jungler is likely to be on your half of the map, pay attention to behavioral changes in the enemy bot lane (e.g. suddenly going aggressive), don't over-extend without vision. I can't tell you how many times I see immobile marksmen effectively sign their own death warrant by walking up to attack the turret when they have zero idea where the jungler is.
If it's that bad that you can't do anything once you get to lane, I tend to give it up and go mid. If they're gonna take your tower, go and take another one of theirs to even the score. Should be easy enough if their mid laner is hanging around bot.
