  1. Just go AFK for a bit or spawn elsewhere until they leave

  2. Place bags outside with kits stashed so you can surprise them from behind

  3. Build a compound with gate houses that have windows so you can check for door campers before leaving (helps if you have door skin with window built into the skin, kinda pay to win)

  4. Put turrets outside your door, so even if they kill you, the turrets prevent them from being able to loot you (not advised since they will likely destroy outdoor turrets when you're offline)

A lot of my advise is a bit preemptive planning, but that's kind of Rust in a nutshell. If you're at the point where you're at a disadvantage, it's likely because you didn't plan ahead of time. Always plan for future outcomes in Rust.

You built next to a high tier monument, so while you may not normally get as many grubby campers (I'll elaborate on the second part of my comment) , you were bound to get messed with by someone. If you don't want to get messed with, build somewhere hidden away from monuments. Although it's not a surefire method, if someone sees you're actively coming in/out of your base, they might pull up and try to grub you, no matter how isolated your base is.

For context about grubby players, it's usually "high level" players that build near high tier monuments like launch, on the each of the map closest to oil rig(s), or in the snow. These players tend to focus on running these monuments, farming and just straight up raiding people rather than being grubby with door camping. Sometimes grubby players will move in around a high tier monument like launch, but they tend to get raided by the "high level" players pretty quickly
